  Same thing with Facebook. They scrape everyone’s website but if you open the console on their website: a big legal disclaimer say it’s their code. The only website I have ever encounter that does that. Even Google doesn’t do it. The hypocrisy is astounding.

      It doesn't say you can't copy anything from their website, it says don't copy paste code here because you'll end up pwning yourself, with a link to "selfxss". That's an anti-scam message, doesn't sound that bad to me.

              That doesn't contain anything related to copyright infringement.

                Yeah, this is not even related to your post, sorry for the wrong reply.

        Fair point.
