Comment on Black Hat SEO Case Study: How Mahalo Makes Black Look White

Comments

Why isn't it copyright infringement for Mahalo to scrape content like claimed in the article? I don't see how either fair use or DMCA safe harbor would apply (but I'm no lawyer). This seems like a lawsuit just waiting to happen.

They're just scraping page titles and occasionally short excerpts; most people believe that's fair use.
