Hi all
A question for you.
If a...friend of mine.. did some screen-scraping of your collections sites,
would you / your organisations:
1) care
2) be able to do anything about it even if you did
Or would it be a case of
3) it depends how much scraping he did and how he used it?
...and if 3) - define for me some of the possible constraints?
- for instance, if he only provided some high-level bits of information
(title, thumbnail, description?) and then linked back to the full record -
is that ok? If not - what?
I suspect that given what Google and any other web spider does is happening
anyway, the answer to 2) would be "no" anyway - but interested in your
thoughts nonetheless
Thanks in advance!
Mike
