IANAL but just because it is public data doesn't mean that Zillows aggregation and capture of the data can't be subject to copyright.

- tndibona 4y agoGood point. IANAL too, But I can’t imagine copyrights on work that didn’t even belong to Zillow. It’s not creative content like a movie. They are just collecting data off existing sources. I could also argue that I’m redistributing the computed data done by my web app like the average, median, and the graph. Then I’d have to hide the Zillow results source table.
