This is a very high-end software designed specifically to make scraping drag-and-drop simple. The paid version is extremely expensive, but they released a free version <a>here</a> that anyone can use. The only requirement is you have to publish your "scraper" robots to the world, and make it available for anyone to use. I don't use Kapow myself, but I have heard great things about it from colleagues in Denmark, who used it to great effect for their recent investigation of EU <a href="http://www.farmsubsidy.org/" rel="nofollow">farm subsidies</a>.
