Volokh take is an interesting read [1]
I am curious how quickly most pages get put behind authorization. With the wording of this ruling you could pretty much go snap up any blog side (say like medium) and more. I wonder what kind of services would come out of that, having the data in a format it can be more easier parsed/analyzed?
so every ecommerce site is fair game? I assume most are already being scraped but I cannot imagine having to be in an environment where many of your connections are not people
