But does leaving your front door open allow one to legally take a picture of the inside from across the street? I'd say scraping is more akin to that than it is theft. Nothing is removed in scraping, just copied

Bad analogy. This is like leaving your couch out on the sidewalk, then complaining when someone takes a picture of it.
