Could you name an example of this? I scraped CL for a while and they didn't say a word, and I've never heard of them shutting someone down.

If you visit http://crgslst.com/ -- a multi-city search site -- it pops up a message about how they were blocked.

They also disabled Jeff Atwood's multi-city search: http://www.codinghorror.com/craigslist/ (he posted the letter he got from them)

Then again, http://www.housingmaps.com/ is still functional, and might be the most popular Craigslist mashup -- I'm assuming they have a deal in place with CL.

how popular is your site? I remember they shut down some real estate site that mashed up craiglist data with google maps that got shut down pretty quickly. Not sure what the name was.
