Is it about visiting and scraping the site, or what they do with the content they scrape?

  Both. CL wanted them to stop scraping their site because they were republishing content without CL's explicit permission.

    What if they weren't republishing the data? I believe it's against TOS to scrape at all. Presume they were scraping the data to /dev/null, would that still be an issue? Further, aren't some things INTENDED to be scraped? Like their RSS feeds?

      I believe all of that is against the law after they were specifically told not to via a C&D.
