On Friday, I did a Reddit AMA with the r/WebScrapingInsider subreddit about the law of web scraping. You can see the entire discussion here.
Hi everyone, and thanks for joining this Reddit AMA on web scraping! I thought it would be helpful to start with some introductory remarks.
First, and most importantly, a reminder about the ground rule. Nothing in this AMA constitutes legal advice. I will discuss some general legal principles, but I can’t opine how those principles apply to your circumstances. Further, many of the topics we’re going to discuss are contested, and everyone has different tolerances for legal risk. Before you make any decisions, you need to talk with a lawyer about how the law applies to your circumstance and what level of legal risk you’re willing to accept.
