Because of the minimal amount of LinkedIn resources utilized and this not apply to all robots/extreme couponers, wouldn't this be more like a competitor checking your weekly ads posted on your front window? Walking into a store is a clear violation of private space. Is looking at their window? So, if you had to have an account to view any linked in information, and you got a c&d and your account banned, and you sign up for a new account, I think it would be like entering a store you've been banned from. But we're talking about information available from a public space: on your window or without an account. I also take issue with the CFAA being used here. I'm sure there are other laws more applicable to keeping someone from talking with you. To recap: I don't think LinkedIn is wrong to ask them to stop, I just don't think they're using the appropriate means of forcing them to.
