A semi-related question:
Isn't padmapper using a bot to scrape websites? Isn't it mapping craigslist, which specifically says, please don't scrape us, we don't want that?
Just wondering out loud some.
- ricardobeat 14y ago> please don't scrape us, we don't want that Those are still murky waters. Copyright law allows the compilation of a third-party's data as long as you are creating something original with it.
- eli 14y agoJust because something is legal, doesn't necessarily make it a nice thing to do.
- binarysolo 14y agoCollecting data using RSS feeds maybe (like several other startups here to collect CL data)? Much more benign to the servers.
