HI All
An excellent paper to digest and grab some CPD's at the same time too:
"Privacy laws generally do not mandate that a site protect against scraping. It is up to organizations to protect user data in their terms of service and then to enforce their terms of service. But privacy laws should mandate protection against scraping. If an organization attempted to transfer massive amounts of personal data to third parties without consent, this practice would violate many privacy laws. Failing to prevent third parties from just taking the data is the functional equivalent of selling or sharing it." (page 27)
Happy reading
