Is it hypocrisy to be for EULA enforcement on reading when it's machines, but not when it's humans? Crawlers "read" on a massive scale that doesn't compare to humans.

    I don't think so, or not always. humans need to find the EULA on the website by first loading the main page or another they found a link to. but if the path of that document was standardized, it could be enforced that way for robots
