I don't understand how CL can even exercise this kind of control. I'm not a lawyer, of course, but it seems reasonable to me that apartment listings would be considered "facts", just like baseball statistics.
So then the CL terms of use are the only obstacle, but can you really be held to those if you didn't read them and weren't somehow forced/encouraged to do so? Perhaps so, but then I would find that a little scary.
Just seems like a bad situation all around, but in my mind Padmapper has the moral (though perhaps not legal, again, not a lawyer) high ground, at least relatively speaking.
- angryasian 14y agono its very simple. Don't submit your listing to craigslist them. Submit it to a site that is indexable friendly.
- therandomguy 14y agoLet me try. What you say is correct. The listing is "fact". And CL is not preventing posting this fact to other services. The user can post the same listing to CL, Rent.com and dozen other sites. What they are controlling is access to their servers.
