I think that userbinator's point is that the DO conditionally allow scraping which makes their position even more tenuous IMO.

While I don't necessarily agree with the concept of only allowing google to index your site, comparing a search engine which feeds you business to a company reselling your data with no attribution is not really fair in my opinion.
- yaur 12y agoNeither of the two parties mentioned is likely to resell the data directly, both are likely to to create a derivative work which they will exploit commercially as will Google. What part of the ToS make one OK while and the other forbidden? How does this work when a smart scraper can just pull from the Google or archive.org cache?
