Isn't the case presented here slightly different? In LinkedIn's case the data was publicly available. In this case they were either accessing data that was only available to registered users (but otherwise "public"), or they only used fake accounts to bypass rate limits imposed on unregistered users.
Does the account requirement change whether the data is considered publicly available on sites with open signups?
