>One plausible reading of the law—the one LinkedIn is advocating—is that once a website operator asks you to stop accessing its site, you commit a crime if you don't comply.

I'm fine with that.

But I'm also fine if they do the like the article suggests and require anything non-scrapable to be behind an account prompt, even if everyone with a account can access it.

I don't think it's fair to make Linked In foot the bill for someone else's business. They shouldn't have to serve that content to people who aren't actually their users.
