Comment on Ask HN: Legality of price comparison scraping without permission

Comments

From my reading of Rural, anything that is a fact is not covered by copyright protection. If you have to register a account to use for scraping things could get a little dicey.

I'm not a lawyer (so this is not legal advice) but I have looked into it for my own projects and decided I had a minimal risk.
