It's kinda funny that in the 90's, "web masters" wanted search engine crawlers to ask for permission to crawl their site.
Right now, there's no economic advantage to sharing your data--especially in this case where Amazon is trying to protect its investment in the Kindle and its impending "App Store" for books.
Perhaps when we have a way for published data to benefit the publisher, we won't have stuff like this going on.
