> For requests which are "reading" you just serve content, unless for some reason you only want human eyeballs to see your content. I was going to cite the LinkedIn case where, last I had heard, the courts had decided that scraping was legal... Headline [0] from April: > Court rules that data scraping is legal in LinkedIn appeal > LinkedIn has lost its latest attempt to block companies from scraping information from its public pages, including member pages. ... but upon googling it, I found a more recent [1] ruling :/ > LinkedIn prevails in 6-year lawsuit against data scraper > The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California sided with LinkedIn in its six year lawsuit against a firm that scraped data ... So that sure puts a nail into the argument I was going to make. But still, while I think your use case lines up with the spirit of this kind of system, I think the reality is that it also would be used by every single site with a signup wall to kill off the archive.ph's of the world. 0: https://www.zdnet.com/article/court-rules-that-data-scraping-is-legal-in-linkedin-appeal/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/court-rules-that-data-scraping... 1: https://iapp.org/news/a/linkedin-prevails-in-six-year-lawsuit-against-data-scraper/ https://iapp.org/news/a/linkedin-prevails-in-six-year-lawsui...
