>Your site would allow me, for example, to scrape all your content for my own personal use // On what basis are you claiming this. Sounds like it would be true under fair-use clauses of US Copyright law but it's certainly not true in the UK (and by extension I presume for you to perform on content served from the UK though I've yet to read a thorough treatment of how the [ie any] law works with server locations). Commercial considerations are usually much broader than selling too: not only could you not resell it but you couldn't distribute it (whether by publishing or otherwise). |

"Cucumbertown authorizes you to view, download and/or print the Materials only for personal, non-commercial use, provided that you keep intact all copyright and other proprietary notices contained in the original Materials."
So, for example, I could grab everything from the site (minus copyrighted images, etc.) and make my own personal DB of the content. Obviously that's a lot of effort for a little reward for one person, but if I created a repo with a set of tools for people to do this for themselves it could become a big legitimate source of "scraping" traffic.
