At one of my jobs my main project was doing web-scraping on a bunch of US states' websites, gathering business record data. Which one could argue should have been public domain anyways. The only qualm I had was we were shuttling all our traffic through TOR so the websites wouldn't block our IP address. Surprisingly only a few states at the time actually had APIs for collecting this data.
