Ethics and laws regarding scraping websites?
webwright: Search engines all scrape...  Titles, meta data, and some or all of the content.I think a good rule of thumb is to consider whether the scraping target will benefit from being scraped.  Most sites are delighted to be scraped by Google.  Will your scraping drive sales/visitors to the target?  Or will it cost sales/visitors?  Will you link back (which helps them from an seo standpoint)?
