I think your basic arguments are either: - scraping is immoral - we should bake DRM into the internet There's no technical or legal difference between a scraping or web request, and I can't really believe that you think that non-scraping web requests are immoral, so I think that probably isn't your argument. Moving onto DRM, I think most people don't want it baked into the internet. I think individual entities can choose to use it if they want--that's basically how you protect against scraping, so I think people irritated by having their content copied and thus devalued (or their ads replaced) should probably just do that.
