Why would rankings not be copyrightable?
- ocdtrekkie 5y agoWhy would they be? Again, if all things being copyrightable by default, Google could not even exist, they assume they have the right to consume any data they want. If a monkey can't copyright a selfie because they're not a person, an algorithmically generated spew of stuff Google ripped from elsewhere certainly lacks merit for copyright.
- lern_too_spel 5y agoAll things are copyrighted by default. Once again, those websites grant a license to search engines to consume their content via robots.txt, and Google does not.
