What I'm wondering is the legality of it all.

If site A orders a report on site B too use the information to compete, how close is that to industrial espinage and how long before someone sues somebody?

Looking at their site is fine, SE spiders following the chain seems fine, but ordering that information to use it against a rival company might be a bit too much.

And we know how keen people are to sue each other in the States.
