It's sort of a moot point. It's not especially difficult to scrape HN and compile a dataset like this for yourself.

- andreasvc 11y agoI don't see how difficulty has any bearing on privacy or copyright issues.
- e12e 11y agoIt's a little like saying it's easy enough to make your own wine and sell it to minors. It is, but that doesn't make it legal.
- arihant 11y agoNo it's like that wine is available for everyone to buy anyway (via HTTP) and people are arguing that perhaps the bottled version (via non-HTTP protocol) should be age limited while keeping non-bottled version as is.
