anyway, and quite possibly in XML format - should be easy for them to do
it,
but...if they want to is another matter (sort of short circuits their

If you are worried about screenscrpaing and being noticed, you should be
able to tweak your script that downloads the web pages from Digiguide's to
make it look like a normal web browser by changing the HTTP_USER_AGENT
fields to rename it to IE6 or whatever - that way there is no immediately
obvious info added to the log.
