I wonder if other services like Mint, Yodelee etc. also do scraping? It seems to be the same model there as TPG/AA - a company has user data, but the user wants the data in some other place, so they authorize a third-party to extract the data and represent it in a different place. Most banks now are begrudgingly coming to terms with this being a thing, some going as far as providing OAuth-like read-only APIs to aggregators. Some are trying hard to not let that happen, and some just ignore the issue and let the aggregators scrape. But an actual case decision in this matter could change the picture - and make financial aggregator business so much harder if it's going a wrong way.
