I know this upsets publishers but I don't see how this could possibly be illegal.

- eli 16y agoIANAL, but I think one could at least make a case that scraping content off another site, removing the ads, storing it on your own server, and then retransmitting to your users could be copyright infringement. Put another way, what's stopping me from putting out my own Washington Post app that scrapes content off their site and uses my ads instead of theirs?
- naner 16y agoOk, that that is not what I understood to be happening. That is definitely more serious, especially if they are re-hosting the information and placing their own ads.
