But thats exactly the issue here. If they find a way to limit the data such that they can split who is "authorized" and who is not, then they have found something that falls under the now new reading of cfaa.
It's not going to stop scrapers from entities outside of the jurisdiction of the US legal system, but it's going to end up icing companies in the US who do this.
But I think Microsoft/Linked In is going to have a very difficult time redefining authorized when the data is publicly available to anonymous access.
