>Alternative better solution for small one-off data collection needs: contract a low-income person to just manually download the data you need with a normal web browser. Provide a JS bookmarklet to speed their process if the data set is a bit too big for that. This is a good idea that has some interesting legal implications (e.g., the target site's network is never accessed by the software, so CFAA claims are likely irrelevant), but probably isn't enough to cover all the bases. I wanted to try something like this before I got C&D'd, but my lawyer informed that doing it after the fact could potentially constitute conspiracy and cause a lot of problems. I'm not a lawyer.
