body: I want to gather data on a catalog of types of products.
  For example, lets say cars. I want to scrape a website (that is itself a catalog of information) for the different make and models of cars, parts, etc. All information that is factual and not opinion based or intellectual at all.
  
  
  Even if they have a terms of service that speaks against it, I don't see how it could be illegal given the nature of the information?
  
  
  If it is illegal, would someone explain to me why?
