Comment on Ask HN: Who uses web scraping?

Comments

[1] - Yes

[2] - Lead generation, selling data, consumer + market research

[3] - I think it is always a gray area with regards to another site's TOS. But the burden of proof is on them, not the scraper. That and masking your scrapers is too easy.
