Meanwhile in my Russian university, everyone scraped whatever they wanted. As long as you didn't cause any harm or disruption to these systems, no one cared. There were tests you had to take in a special classroom full of Sun thin clients. You had to register yourself for some time slot(s) to go there. Sometimes you had to go there in like 2 days to meet a deadline but there were no slots available. So, someone made an app that would continuously scrape that page and notify you when a slot for your chosen time is available. Saved my ass a couple times.
