Ask HN: Using mTurk to morally/legally get around a robots.txt disallow?

A site offers any visitor (authenticated or not) free download of documents at a certain path. This path is disallowed from being crawled by all user agents in robots.txt. What is the consensus around using something like Mechanical Turk to distribute the process of physically clicking the free download link and collecting the documents? Would this fall into the "avoiding a technological control" category? I know, I know, I should ask a lawyer, but I'm interested in the community's opinion on the practice.
