I don't know of any precedent that gives sites that accept user-generated content grounds to sue when their users' copyrights are violated. I would like to hear of one.
- simplesimpl3 14y agoSeconded. Certainly this issue has come up before. Maybe the fact there is no precedent tells us something? Who would benefit from keeping the issue undecided?
- pyre 14y agoIf you're scraping user-submitted content by accessing (e.g.) CraigsList, then I would think that CraigsList could try and claim that it was unauthorized access of their systems.
- natrius 14y agoAgreed, but my understanding is that 3Taps pulled the listings via Google cache.
