Well no, the company would still be a net positive to the employee. Without the company, the employee would be making an even lower wage or unemployed.

These massive breaches sort of scare but at the same time sort of relieve me. If everyone has their information leaked, there is a low chance that any one person will be an identity theft victim.

Does this ruling include regular anti-scraping defenses that might stop HiQ, but doesn't specifically target them?
