Hmm, interesting. Many sites list scraping, crawling, and / or non-human access as violations of their Terms of Service.

For example, see section 8.2(b) of LinkedIn's User Agreement (I list LinkedIn because I know they're a common target for scraping).

Yes, you are right, Linkedin is well known for this.

Well, I am not a lawyer so I'd rather say nothing than saying no-sense.

We plan to do a blog post about this, well-sourced and more detailed than my answers :)
