Eric Goldman hosts Reddit AMA on web scraping law

Original: My Reddit AMA on the Law of Web Scraping

Santa Clara University law professor Eric Goldman hosted a Reddit AMA on the law of web scraping, and wrote up the session on his blog. The discussion covered how courts and regulators treat automated data collection, a topic of ongoing interest amid litigation between scrapers and platforms and debate over the boundaries of terms of service and computer misuse laws.

Why now: Web scraping's legal status remains contested, and a law professor answering public questions draws attention from developers, lawyers and platform operators.
