So does that mean the conclusion is that scraping is bad? Or did the 9th circuit establish that scraping is OK and hiQ suffered defeat on some other basis?

- beardedwizard 3y agoIt seems to me they were defeated on the terms of some other contract they had with LI, not the scraping?
- beardedwizard 3y agoClarification: it's the breach of terms of service that meets this bar for breach of contract in this case
- Klonoar 3y agoIf this is the case, I guess what I'm really wondering is: does the existence of the EULA cause this, or was it HiQ having "turks" sign in to do it - thus accepting the EULA?
- beardedwizard 3y agoI think that's exactly it, they had automation logging in, which meant they accepted the tos, then violated it. The govt has sided with business in these cases (it seems)
