>hiQ argued that LinkedIn’s technical measures to block web scraping interfere with hiQ’s contracts with its own customers who rely on this data. In legal jargon, this is called” malicious interference with a contract”, which is prohibited by American law
Does this mean that Google's random recaptcha check is interference?
- peeters 7y agoI think any ruling that says LinkedIn can't put in protectionary measures against automated requests is doomed to be overturned, as long as they're not doing it discriminately. Captcha, rate limiting, user agent testing, etc are all common tools to protect against malicious/unintentional denials of service. The question is what was LinkedIn doing, and did it specifically target hiQ while permitting others of the same class of traffic.
- securingsincity 7y agoYeah what is the line here? Would it be against the rules to block known user agents, throttling of traffic?
- papln 7y agoNo, because what one side of a case argues is not the law. What judges decide is the law.
- gyvastis 7y agoI'm curious how entities like https://www.omdbapi.com/ https://www.omdbapi.com/ can continue their activity, get $$$ and not get shut down.
