What prevents someone from doing a screen capture or content scrape of your data and posting it to their website?
Are you geared up to start sending out cease and desist notices to every chump with a myspace account who happens to like sports and knows how to use pbrush and ALT+Print Screen.
Good luck but it seems too easily to rape your content and leave you holding the legal bill for a fight you can't win.
- coderdude 17y agoYou're basically attacking every freemium model that sells data as their product. This isn't unique to his idea.
- mitrca 17y agoHow is that different than screen capturing any website and posting to Myspace?? This is an issue (not really) for any website. And there are no legal issues if someone does this to my content.
- kristiandupont 17y agoThe scenario you are describing would hardly hit what would otherwise be paying customers. If he is still profitable, then the only problem is that the pirates are getting something for free which, from a business point of view, is irrelevant.
- Subgun 17y agoI'm not attacking every freemium model out there.. just one that involves sports that have a large percentage of fanatic fans and their favorite teams stats . Other models don't have the same potential for copyright violation. The idea and technology being used is great I just think there may be an enormous legal battle ahead should the site and service become very popular.
