> Scraping auth-walled data is different. When you sign up, you have to check "I agree to the terms," and the terms generally say, "You can't scrape us." So, you can't just make a million bot accounts that take an app's data (legally, anyway). Those EULAs are generally legally enforceable in the U.S.
They're legally enforceable in the sense that the scraped services generally reserve the right to terminate the authorizing account at will, or legally enforceable in that allowing someone to scrape you with your credentials (or scraping using someone else's) qualifies as violating the CFAA?
