Doesn't matter.

The insurance companies would be entirely within their rights to block the scraper, and they'd probably be happy to sue and drag it out for five years. It wouldn't take that long for Leaky to run out of funds (and the distraction would likely be fatal even if the legal expenses weren't).

I was just asking for information. It might not matter to them, but it might help others.

My point is that it doesn't matter to anyone. It might be entirely legal, but they'll be happy to bankrupt you while you attempt to prove it.
