If we're talking about morals, then the fact that CL only got copyright via a click wrap assignment, and that most postings aren't copyrightable because there's no creativity, and that the actual creators (posters) benefited from this access, I don't think things held up.
I'd also be surprised to find a real increase in load, if the scraping service served end users. Otherwise those users would be requesting directly to CL. And, if the 3rd party service worked by riding on the back of users (say, via a browser add-on), would that suddenly change things?
