That's what is ideal, this is to make use of existing laws. Besides, laws like that don't pop up for no reason. There would need to be a real concentrated push and need for it, and there won't be, because those who stand most to lose here are not a unified voice, and those who are unified voices stand most to gain. Larger tech companies will not complain about scraping because they stand to benefit from it, smaller creators will but have no voice. The DMCA passed exclusively to protect the records and movie industries, the DSM exists to remove barriers on digital services within the EU, but there's nobody who has a voice and wants this. In the EU especially, the voices of companies and organizations count as much if not slightly more than actual votes, non-profits and for-profits alike are intentionally an integral part of decisionmaking processes with the intention of being a fairer society. That's exactly why there isn't really any reason to reach those ideals, and why we have to make do with what is already passed.
