RED ALERT #2 - Distributed IP Scraper on BBCOM

This one is virtually identical to scraper spotted on Vericenter, same profile to the letter.

Claims to be the same exact browser:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060124 Firefox/1.5.0.1
This spider was seen operating from these IP addresses:
66.234.139.195
66.234.139.200
66.234.139.203
66.234.139.204
66.234.139.206
66.234.139.207
66.234.139.211
66.234.139.213
66.234.139.216
66.234.139.217
This IP range belongs to BBCOM:
OrgName: Backbone Communications, Inc.
OrgID: BBCM
Address: 515 South Flower Street
Address: Suite 4350
City: Los Angeles
StateProv: CA
PostalCode: 90071
Country: US

NetRange: 66.234.128.0 - 66.234.159.255
I'm blocking 66.234.139.0/24 for the moment, but keeping an eye on the rest of their network in case these scrapers switch to a new block.
