- stefan_ 4y agoAll that case says is "scraping is not a violation of the CFAA". But of course the scraped data still exists in legal limbo; maybe you can compute derived information from it, but the moment a scraper reproduces it there is all of copyright law waiting for them.
- jasfi 4y agoIn that case, the user owns the copyright, not the company, as the user is the author. So it would be up to them to take legal action if deemed necessary.
