Depends on what exactly is being scraped. If it's something like price data or exact values then it isn't protected by copyright at all.

Price data can be protected by copyright as a compliation of data.

In that case, the data compilation itself would be protected, not the individual data points. If I used a scraper to copy everything verbatim, then yes, it would be a violation.
