Technically, I am NOT an attorney. That's not what we are called up
here. I do have a law degree and I am in good standing with the Law
Society of Upper Canada.

No I did not. Only technical discussions about how they work and how
they might circumvent any little tricks which someone might build into
their site. If anyone wants to know where to find a scraper, they can
ask here and get a referral. We do that with ivtv and lirc and other
stuff...
And you kindly give me too much power. If I really had the power to
squash ALL such discussions, I would also have had the power to squash
any number of prior threads that I didn't like. I don't and so of
course, I haven't. All I have asked is that you give the list owner of
this list the common decency of not talking about things which could be
illegal, HERE. You among others persist that it is 'not illegal' but
that is unclear and may not be risk free *to Isaac*.
I think Isaac is on holiday. I hope he just dumps his inbox when he gets
back. God help his sanity if he tries to read all this!
