Scraping a website can be compared to only downloading mp3 file, not redistributing it to other people. And I don't see how electronic ToS have any legal power

Scraping a website can be compared to only downloading mp3 file, not redistributing it to other people.
And I don't see how electronic ToS have any legal power. It is not a contract one has signed before visiting a site. I think ToS should only bind the website owner, not its visitors.
