Yes you did post some facts about your listing to CL, it is also well within Craigslists right to allow others to copy it or not. Just because you supplied the data to CL doesn't mean you can dictate to them how they should run their business.
- stcredzero 14y agoA copyright clause designed to allow Craigslist to stop abuse shouldn't be used to squash competitors. That's not dictating "how they should run their business." That's telling them to stop being selfish.
- res0nat0r 14y agoHow are they trying to squash competition? Padmapper isn't free to have users submit their listings to their own website?
- stcredzero 14y ago> How are they trying to squash competition? Again, disingenuous. CL has the network effect. That's like Microsoft saying, Users are free to install their own browsers. Their current actions are only to preserve that, not to squash abuses. (Which is what they usually do with the power of their TOU.)
- res0nat0r 14y agoSo Apple should stop selling iPhones because it has a dominant position in the marketplace because it is the device most preferred by buyers?
- stcredzero 14y agoApple's network effect or market position clearly doesn't make other phones and devices a non-starter. Craiglist's network effect and market position clearly makes other housing listing sites a non-starter. Big difference.
