I mean, they're the ones who gave it to me, I'm just using it. Not my problem if they don't like it. I never saw any terms and conditions when my browser loaded the page, no reason I'm going to go looking for them before I scrape it. I have just as much right to access it as my web browser does or my phone does.
I'm not saying they owe me anything, they're offering it to me, I'm just taking it.

If you are deploying proxy containered services on cloud computing hosts orchestrated by yourself to circumvent mechanisms to prevent such behavior you are delibertly and unethically acting in a manner directly not intended by the owner of such data.
- arsome 5y agoHow so? They're still offering it to me, just on a different IP. I fail to see how that becomes unethical. I'm accessing information they publish to the public at large.
