I recently saw a Toronto area Craigslist job posting for a 3Tap/Padmapper type of scraping contract, where it required the developer to have experience in spidering Craigslist, despite the whole ongoing debacle. Oh the irony. The whole thing stinks and Craigslist is completely right in putting a stop to data leeching. There isn't enough CSS3 candy that you can slap on top stolen data to wash it clean. It's a red herring argument that distracts from the main issue that they don't obey they rules of the site that feeds them.
