Hmmm...so if instead of a 'bot, a human (or 40 humans, or 400 humans...dang, that gets expensive, though...) were following some cookbook process, identical to the 'bot's script (could even BE the script if the source were clear enough), typing in the same material, ending up with the same output, that would be OK?

Conversely, what if a script was doing it, but was DOG slow; slow as a person doing the same thing. In fact, I'm sure there ARE scripts out there somewhere that are aggregating this stuff for personal use, that are probably not the fastest things in the world.

To be honest, I think we're on a slippery slope here...and one I kind of expected. Is it automation, or the SPEED of the process?
