I don't know why people think HTML scraping is such a bad thing. In today's world of web services, HTML scraping is pretty commonplace (anyone heard of Google news?).
It is not a problem in most cases IMO if the producer of the "new content" admits that's what they are doing and provides links back to the original content. In this case neither of those is actually happening.
Combine that with the questionable customer service I received and the offer to buy my silence when I complained in public and, yes, I now quite vocally object to the business practices exercised.
