Most countries apply intellectual property law to anything published on the internet. In other words, when it comes to something you pull down via http, you should assume that, if you attempt to republish it in any form, someone out there might decide that it's worth their time to use the court system to destroy you, so you should take the time to read the ToS.
- alkonaut 9y agoYes - Like I said I think it's perfectly find that the material I download from the internet has terms and laws associated with it. That is, what I do with what I download is subject to laws as soon as I e.g. try to publish it. But my point is this: what service have I used, and what terms can I be assumed to have agreed to if I do this > wget $random_url > /dev/null That's what web scraping is. What I do with the scraped material is something completely different.
