Those are all really good points. I think you're right on the money. I had always assumed though, that by simply visiting a (whether by browser, or scraper), you were implicitly accepting the Terms of Use. (And would therefore be breaking them if the TOS disallowed scraping). But it sounds like (from what you said) that there's a big difference between visiting a site and actually registering/accepting-the-terms. If that's the case, then I think that changes my opinion quite a bit.
