[DUG] Work Wanted in Wellington

[Phil Scadden]

Any restriction on scraping can be bypassed with enough effort - even if 
you put data into image. To my mind it is a flawed business model if you 
are trying to sell data that users can browse for free. Amazon isnt 
selling its information about books, it sells the books and no, you 
cannot browse them on the website. Maybe there is equivalent to read 
sample (which only shows you same two pages no matter what ip you use).

The usual annoyance scraping is someone concentrating your data for 
comparison purpose (eg pricespy) so they get advertising revenue instead 
of you. If you are just one of dozens of sites, then you want to make 
cost/reward too high to bother scraping. If this is targeted on only 
your website, and the data you have displayed is intrinsically valuable, 
then good luck.
