This is basically what Google does to Wikipedia and rebrands as "Knowledge Graph".
- SamBam 5y agoGoogle has donated many millions to the Wikimedia Foundation, basically in payment for this. (But, again, there's a difference between scraping and echoing a request on another site and waiting for its response. The latter is basically unauthorized use of its API, not scraping.)
- ocdtrekkie 5y agoIt'll be very telling if Google switches to using Wikipedia Enterprise: https://www.wired.com/story/wikipedia-finally-asking-big-tech-to-pay-up/ https://www.wired.com/story/wikipedia-finally-asking-big-tec... My guess is Google's "donation" is pennies on the dollar from what they benefit from Wikipedia, and more of a token gesture than anything else.
