That’s one of the bigger ones. Unfortunately recent events means scraping is still a gray area.
- amelius 5y agoLegal gray areas are perfect for growth hacking. Just look at Uber and AirBnb.

- omgwtfbyobbq 5y agoDo you mean this case? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Buren_v._United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Buren_v._United_States I think it only applies to systems that aren't available to the general public, which in this case was the GCIC. Anything that is available to the public, even if it requires some sort of registration, would I think be legal to scrape. YMMV though.
