I've felt this way for a long time. It's humorous when a company that has built it's business on scraping the web files a lawsuit to stop someone from scraping them. So many thoughts come to mind.
You reap what you sow.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Rules for thee but not for me.
Turnabout is fair play.
