I don't know if the CFAA apply to my country, I know moreover that we don't need to comply with DCMA.
I don't thing that browsing a web page and saving it's content it's the same than scamming people by doing fake online site. This is growing in our country and the local police don't have any rights.
If it's a global problem we need to have global rules, we can't have Chinese not respecting Authors' rights and in the other hand only blame local people it's stupid.
Specially when it's non-tech people that do the rules, they don't know tech therefore should not say anything about it.
EDIT: You can be mad at me and down vote, but what I say is true and relevant. There's not only US in the world, specially when there's other way than protecting your site behind a robots.txt
We do have global rules: the Berne convention, which has been ratified by all 170 UN countries plus the Holy See and Niue, states that copyright is automatic and mostly universal, so any unauthorized copying is illegal. By having certain paths listed on robots.txt, the site are explicitly saying they don't authorize people to crawl them, so unless you have a license granting you permission, your legal position is probably iffy - CFAA or not.
Obviously some countries have a more lax enforcement than others, but don't be surprised if the US starts squeezing and one day you suddenly get a knock on the door.
