Jenny's licensing language quote was:
1."the systematic making of print or electronic copies of Online Content for transmission to non-subscribers or non-subscribing institutions (such as inter-library loans) is prohibited."
The language makes it quite clear that it is referring to non-subscribers. Systematic downloading of articles by spiders and/or bots is almost always done by authorized users at an institution. Ergo I'd go with the original interpretation that the clause refers to ILL.

I second Katy. I think that's what "systematic" means in this context.
