Try and scrape scores or sports results or stock prices (and re-publishing). Pretty sure you will get a "cease and desist" if you get any traffic at all. That data is owned by corporations even if it is publicly displayed.
- teddyh 7y agoThat data isn’t “owned”. Mere data such as you describe (sports results or stock prices) cannot be owned. There is no legal mechanism for it. Copyright can’t cover mere facts such as those, and patents or trademarks don’t apply, nor does trade secrets, obviously. However, the corporations involved sure would like you to think otherwise, and they will fight tooth and nail to keep it that way.
