To help fuel a (I hope helpful) discussion (but seriously, I'm looking for advice/opinions here): I think it's unenforceable. Ultimately LinkedIn can shut off your access, but that's really the only recourse they've got if they don't like what you're doing, unless you're breaking some other more well respected rule (like copyright, trademark...) I also suspect that they're extremely unlikely to try anything else since it's irritating for them to do anything else. That said, if you're a startup and you (in LinkedIn's eyes which is the only thing that matters) violate their TOS, and they do decide to go after you under section 1.8, you have to cave, how could you fight it? But IANAL.
