there are a few of these scripts out there now. how legal/illegal is this? to my knowledge, scraping is legal, but using the content you scrape (aka "steal") for profit is illegal.

There are a ton of these out there already. I have a script that blocks IP addresses from people scraping my sites and adds usually 5 to 10 a day. Without this as a plugin, pretty much worthless IMO unless you only want to scrape 1 or 2 pages a day.
