Spidering and scraping is 'more' legal?

• marginalia_nu 3y ago
  Scraping is pretty dangerous if you're running a spam business, since there are a lot of honeypots out there, and you'll pretty rapidly find yourself blacklisted. Email spammers generally want verified email addresses. Since it's far safer to buy email lists from some broker, you tend to get a lot more spam for signing up for things than posting your email publicly.
