Nobody cares how valuable you think your service is. Who's the judge of what's entitled to scrape or not? If you think you're the judge, I find it somewhat arrogant.
It is even more hilarious that you defend a position that, to me, looks authoritarian and individualistic. Might not be your intention, but it's what I read.

The berne convention intentionally left out database sui generis rights outside the scope of copyright. Only in the European Union you have the kind of protection you're looking for. And even in the EU, I've never came across a case where the law was enforced in courts. Maybe because it's a ridiculous right, in my opinion, that would make information flow disfuncional in society.
