Doesn't section 230 say that most internet orgs are just aggregators and not publishers? The copyright in this case lies with the content creators and not the orgs? I can see individuals might have a car to sue for copyright, but do these internet orgs have any legal leg?
- squatrito23 3y agoNot all content is covered byIp (intellectual property). Long textx (like an article), images, or videos are. But factual information (such as prices, a hot one in web scraping) are not.

- daft_pink 3y agoMaybe copyright is not the correct law to cite, but Craigslist sued companies that scraped it's data and provided it to a wider audience and won like hotpads, etc. Not a copyright lawyer and I don't know what the actual law is against scraping, but just pointing out that previous companies offering raw scraped data from a large platform were sued out of business.
