There is an obvious coordination - all those requests come from different IP ranges, but rarely hit the same pages. The intentionality is not as clear, but I think "willful bypassing of protection site owner put up" counts for something? If a local store has "a free gift per household" ad, and someone is trying to get multiple free gifts by presenting fake addresses, this would be at least fraud. Similarly, if a scraping service rotates IP addresses and user agents to prevent blocks, it should be fraud as well, and maybe "unintentional cyber-attack" if server has trouble or falls over.
