So yet another business gets it's start by only using content from another site(s) via data scraping, and they are upset that their source of content was acquired and shutdown? Cry me a river...

This reminds me of the Craigslist/Pad-Mapper event, except that Craigslist hasn't been acquired.

I think you may have misread. The article is upset because his user data is being taken away. Punchfork acquired their data by scraping recipe publishers. Hugspoon wanted to liberate the user data by scraping punchfork.
