"whether they like it or not"
Basically they admit that this is a scraping tool for doing things you shouldn't.
Companies that want to sell you data do. Companies that provide data for free to use how you like do. This is basically automating stealing.
I have really low moral standards but I can see the wrongness of this.
- icebraining 13y agoI haven't read the page, but from the title, I assume it's a scraper Sure, it can be used for copying data without permission. But not all data is hard to read because they don't want you to copy it. For example, I've built a scraper for a state-run website of company registrations. The data is public, just not in a machine readable format.
