Would love to hear replies on this - just because it's against their terms of use, does that mean it's illegal? Just because someone says they don't want you to look at them and write down what you see doesn't make it illegal. Of course it might be stalking / harassment in the legal sense but where's that line for spidering websites?
- lucaspiller 11y agoIt depends on your local laws and where you and the other website (well, the legal entity of) are based. As an example if you are both based in the UK the website could probably bring civil charges (i.e. sue you) for breach of contract, or even attempt to bring criminal charges under the Computer Misuse Act for unauthorised access to a computer system. If the website is in the UK, and you are in China it's probably not worth the effort.
