He logged into LinkedIn, did scraping and documented the whole action. He definitely violated the user agreement at least once. Then he still provides instructions and tooling on how to do so, pls he does access LinkedIn servers on behalf of his customers.
This is like building a bomb, publishing instructions, shipping the chemicals to the customer’s door, "building it for the customer" for a fee, and still claiming no responsibility.
IANAL, but… it would certainly sound sketchy to the least litigious lawyer in a room.
- forgotpwd16 4y agoWhat I'm saying, he violated, by utilizing his own account to scrape & provide examples of the process and basically even having an account and developing a tool advertising those features, but the tool perse doesn't violate anything.
- pancrufty 4y agoThe tool is instructing his servers to access LinkedIn. You could argue he’s just the messenger in this case, or you could argue that his servers are accessing LinkedIn’s for scraping.
