That said, PadMapper's point about facts not being copyrightable seems to be correct, and Craigslist is suing over something it doesn't have any actual ownership of.
Back when PadMapper was scraping the data itself, sure, there was a whole TOS / cost argument to be made. At that point I did think Craigslist was in the right. But that appears to have been gotten around completely legally, and Craigslist has moved into the position of being the bully in this argument.
