Wikipedia's summary of the case doesn't make it sound as positive for 3taps, especially as the status of the case (their motion to dismiss the case was denied) is not what they wanted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craigslist_Inc._v._3Taps_Inc.#Opinion_of_the_Court https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craigslist_Inc._v._3Taps_Inc.#...
Two significant problems for them: the Court sided with Craigslist's view that 3taps knew its authorization to access the website was revoked when it received Craigslist's cease-and-desist letter, so scraping past that date might constitute unauthorized access; and Craigslist's change to its ToS on July 16, 2012 to claim copyright on posts was valid, so reuse of their material after that date could constitute a copyright violation subject to statutory damages.
