That they're stealing AA's opportunity for, ahem, "customer engagement".
They may have a case for tortious interference, I think? It does seem like an uphill climb. The strategy might just be to punish TPG with attorneys' fees and discourage this practice in the future.
- paxys 5y agoEvery similar case that has been litigated has been about wholesale copying of a large amount of content (e.g. millions of LinkedIn profiles, Craigslist listings, flight prices). In this case an individual customer authorized the access and only their data was affected. This is a pretty common use case for a large category of apps – think Mint, Plaid, all wallet apps which organize and track different accounts.
