If parent wanted to say that all publicly-accessible web pages should be considered legally scrapeable without triggering federal cybercrime legislation ... sure, I think that's a reasonable point of view, and roughly the EFF's point of view in this case. If, in the process of scraping and reusing data, you are infringing copyright (or breaking a civil contract, or whatever), that can be dealt with on its own, not by criminalizing the scraping.
