Consider, if the situation was reversed, and Craiglist was taking Padmapper's data without permission, would everyone on HN would be supporting Padmapper attempting to block Craiglist from reposting its listings? In such a scenario, Craiglist reposting the Padmapper listings would be a net gain for user's and posters (even though the posters never gave Craiglist such permission) because the listings would be exposed to an exponentially larger viewership. Being a startup is not a license (pun intended) to ignore other people's rights. Padmapper is in the wrong here, and if they proceed down this path they could face a ruinous (and fully justified) lawsuit.
