StatSheet is listed as one of Embedly's "supported" providers but they never asked us if we were ok with it. It's not like they are even using an API from us...just scraping.

Would you have provided an API if they had asked?

I don't think thats the point. The point is they are scraping content without seeking approval.

True. They did not ask for permission nor forgiveness.
