A bot still implies that you are using a registered Second Life account 
to login (that was either created by a human or software that is 
operated by a human), and that account is owned and still operated by a 
human. If you make a bot smart enough to find its server space to run 
from*, register accounts for itself and log them in, and then become an 
NPC dealer/broker it might be a different story. Until then it doesn't 
matter if you are controlling an avatar directly through the official 
viewer or through a pre-programmed control.
