Really? Dudes are catching felony raps for web scraping and you dont see how any of this is felonious?

  That others have been treated unfairly doesn't make this instance also one that should be overreacted to.
  • forgetfreeman 28d ago
    True. Where we appear to disagree is that any overreaction has taken place. If anything I'm deeply dissatisfied that charges haven't been filed.
    • rcxdude 27d ago
      While I think those calling for charges know not what precedent they are trying to set.
      • forgetfreeman 27d ago
        Oh I am very clear about what precedents I want set. I want the C-suite, board, and major shareholders of any corporate entity that meaningfully deviates from legality to face all of the same consequences a private individual would.

  Who got charged with a felony for scraping?
  • jprd 28d ago
    Aaron Swartz, for one.
    • s1artibartfast 27d ago
      Was not scraping and not charged for that
