Sure. My data is still my data, and if I publish it on my platform for free, that still shouldn't automatically give you the right to copy the data and provide on your platform.
It's basically the same as a TV broadcasting a film for free, and then going after you legally if you recorded that film and uploaded it to your website.
- sjg007 7y agoIt's not the same thing at all. The film is broadcast without re-transmission rights.
- levosmetalo 7y agoHow is that different? Where on my website I gave anyone "re-transmission" or "re-publishing" rights?
- sjg007 7y agoIt's different for broadcast films and tv https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retransmission_consent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retransmission_consent
- jayd16 7y agoThis is a bad analogy as scraped but copyrighted works are still protected by copyright. Whats in question is whether you should have exclusive rights to information you have shared but did not copyright. Seems people also think this noncopyrighted data should also be protected even if its munged and added to an original work by the scraper.
- hamiltont 7y agoThis does not legalize theft, it says sites cannot respond to suspected scrapers differently than they respond to non-suspected scrapers. You can still rate limit, as long as you do it universally to all site users Copyright law is unchanged. If someone scrapes your blog and then re-uses your posts on their own blog, you still have possible copyright infringement claim
