Nick opines, not adjudicates, IMO. There is no law (yet) in this area but how many PR hits can Facebook take in one 12-month period? After the "tell everyone what you buy, read and own" script nightmare, how can they claim that the data is theirs? Perhaps if Plaxo had offered money instead of an alpha trial without warning, we wouldn't be reading this.
DM is right: what Scoble did was against the rules. Not for profit? Doesn't matter. He didn't know about Data Portability when he did it (but is now an evangelist; interesting what can happen in 24 hours), so no righteous excuses for him.
However, forget scraping, forget TOS, forget intentions. Facebook cannot have it both ways and argue data ownership is one-sided. It takes a Scoble to get this issue to the front of the discussion. And all's well that temporarily ends well, eh?
