There's obviously a big fat indemnity clause in 3Taps' terms which means you're on the hook for claims made by third parties against 3Taps for loss arising as a result of the usage of the service.
Having said that if CL provides access to 3Taps on terms which allow third parties to take data from 3Taps, then this may be permissible. It of course depends on the terms of 3Taps' access though (I admit to not being completely familiar with the ins and outs of 3Taps' service though).
The problem of course is that CL have already shown a dislike of Padmapper's methods and as a result this workaround is unlikely to meet with CL's approval. Common sense would suffice to tell you that.
Having said that, it's a real shame CL aren't open to discussions over licensing data (maybe they are of course but the price is too high).
- ericd 14y agoNah, they weren't open to discussing any sort of deal involving the website (they were willing to license data for the mobile app).
- stcredzero 14y agoWhy didn't you go that route? There are so many phones and tablets out there now, you'd have accomplished almost as much public good with far less controversy.
- ericd 14y agoGood question. Basically, it's not really the best way for people to browse this kind of stuff, and there are still lots of people without phones/tablets. You can get a much better picture of things with PM maximized on a 20" screen than you can with a 4" one. The phone is more of a backup for when you're on the road or in a pinch.
- stcredzero 14y agoThe phone is more of a backup for when you're on the road or in a pinch. My girlfriend is looking for an apartment in Houston, and sometimes browses Craiglist with her iPad.
- ericd 14y agoYeah, the iPad is a pretty good substitute for those that have one (and I'm happier with the PadMapper iPad app than with the phone apps).
