There is a difference between gathering prices and loading extra URLs to gather those prices. From that text, I would not assume they are using my computer as a part of a botnet.
I knew it was doing that as well (the distributed scraping the article talks about). But I cannot figure out where I read it. Maybe they used to have it somewhere on their site, and now it's gone?
What is strange that people asked for e.g. Amazon.nl support. This isn't implemented as Keepa relies on Amazon (this is their answer in the forums). But if they scrape, why do they still need Amazon?
