I am an attorney whose primary focus is in this area of law. And this interpretation of the LinkedIn v. hiQ case is categorically wrong. https://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2022/12/as-everyone-ex... https:

Same thing just happened to me. Had a two-week stay in Costa Rica at a place that advertised itself as a serene and tranquil spot with wildlife. Instead, it was non-stop construction 11 hours a day, 6 days a week. The host knew about it bef

This headline is horribly misleading. The Ninth Circuit said that web scraping is not a violation of the CFAA, but that other causes of action, such as trespass to chattels, breach of contract, misappropriation, may still apply. Just super

Someone asked "what is their case, exactly?" American Airlines is alleging 12 legal claims: 1. Breach of Contract 2. Tortious Interference with a Contract 3. Unfair Competition by Misappropriation 4. Trespass 5. Trademark infringe

As an attorney who focuses in this area, I can say that the most interesting question is first where this case will be decided. Texas, and the Northern District of Texas in particular, has historically been the worst jurisdiction in the cou

Eric is brilliant, and he has an encyclopedic knowledge of internet law. He's also an incredibly kind, generous, and open-minded person. That said, I will refrain from any commentary on Section 230, as I have zero expertise on that iss

As a lawyer whose primary focus is in web scraping, this article is in many ways misleading and inaccurate. While it is true that the Van Buren case is generally positive for web scraping, the overall legal landscape is still murky. The mai
