Get pushed down. It isn’t scraping if they get 10 or 20 competitors to do it & then use the aggregate data to launch a competing service … talk to the bankrupt Yellow Pages companies & ask them how Google has helped to build their businesses. Update: looks like this has been around for a while…though when I spoke to numerous friends nobody had ever seen it before.
