This attitude right here is my point. Thanks for unintentionally making my point for me ;)
legal =/= right
I’m so tired of people thinking the boundaries of the law are the boundaries of whats socially acceptable; it isn’t. The boundary of laws is where we get so fed up with you that we arrest your ass. the grey are in the middle where you are a shit human but not illegal, is not a place to brag about being.
Not if there’s a EULA forbidding it. That’s part of the reason for robot.txt. it’s sort of the agreement bots have to pass through versus the one a person sees.
Why wouldnt they? It’s totally legal to write up something that visits pages in a genuine browser and takes all the content from the page source.

I was intentionally making your point!
And the boundary of laws, where fines are the punishment, is simply wealth.
If breaking a law whose punishment is a fine earns me more than the fine sets me back, then it’s a no brainier, it’s profit.
