>which should be made into a law

1. People in other countries probably don't give a fuck about your laws, global internet and all.

2. How are you going to define this law in such a manner that isn't going to be a problem for someone, for example, writing a plugin in the browser to manipulate the page for their own personal reasons.... 'scraping' is a very broad term that can easily include viewing.

We've done it for lots of other things, I don't see why it would not work for the #1 technological critical resource.
