Spiders and terms of use

While the plaintiff in this case seems a little over the edge, the Wayback Machine v. Shell case presents some interesting legal questions: to what extent can a spider be bound to the terms of use of a website.

I think that it's fairly safe to say that most think terms of use are probably enforceable. However, it is possible that a spider can be an agent?

Hat tip Eric Goldman.
