I would suggest a different website/URL for demonstrating web scraping. Possibly, will write one by this weekend where the website is hosted on one of my server allowing for web scraping without breaking any laws/Terms of use.
One thing I'd like to see in a replacement is pagination of the target data table, so that we could add another step at the end of the lesson that takes it beyond just scraping a simple table.
It is a natural next step in learning how to scrape and I think it would more clearly demonstrate the power of learning this skill, since many software tools that don't require programming can pull a table pretty easily, but might struggle with pagination.
Valid point. Perhaps demonstrating both in the document should help the user in understanding the usefulness. I'll work on this accordingly.

Can I suggest self-hosting the example in this repo (and using rawgit.com or github pages to serve it).
This is now a different URL
