It is not the same flavor of violation as trespassing on land, more like riding a bicycle on a sidewalk. Fortunately, I'm not in the business of scraping sites, but I still find this legal precedent abhorable, and I hope it gets struck down in court when push comes to shove. I would certainly vote that way if given the chance.

It's like riding a bike in a skate-park with a small sign saying "No bikes".

It's like riding a red mountain bike on a bike path with a small sign saying "only black road bikes allowed".
