There is really no difference between loading a site in a browser and scraping something, so I don't understand how they can single one out from the other. Their interpretation of the law is completely retarded. It would be just as plausible to suggest that breaking the Phuks TOS is a computer crime, because people are accessing the site in a way that is "unauthorised". Complete bullshit.

That's a good point. Google should pull them from their search results, they made it clear that they don't want to be indexed anywhere.

That is pretty fucked up that they can pull up a vaguely worded 31 year old law and claim that accessing publicly available information is illegal.
