Can Scraping Non-Infringing Content Become Copyright Infringement... Because Of
How Scrapers Work?
,----[ Quote ]
| Earlier this year, we couldn't figure out how Facebook's lawsuit against
| Power.com made any sense. Power.com tried to aggregate various social
| networking accounts in a single place, so you could manage them all at once
| through a single interface. Yet Facebook charged the company with all sorts
| of complaints, including copyright and trademark infringement, unlawful
| competition and violation of the computer fraud and abuse act.

What do the EU results and Pirate Party mean for digital rights?
,----[ Quote ]
| Stand back from the media frenzy concentrating on Labour’s woes for a moment,
| and ask yourself what these elections mean for digital rights.
|
| Several parties that broadly supported digital rights concerns did well in
| this election, including, in the UK, UKIP and the Greens. The Liberal
| Democrats also had a fair showing.

Pirate Party is not about breaking the law. They just mock the MAFIAA meme used
to daemonise everyone ("pirate").

| The Pirate Party has a constructive and reasoned proposal for an alternative
| to pharmaceutical patents. It would not only solve these problems, but also
| give more money to pharmaceutical research, while still cutting public
| spending on medicines in half. This is something we would like to discuss on
| a European level.
|
| Patents in other areas range from the morally repulsive (like patents on
| living organisms) through the seriously harmful (patents on software and
| business methods) to the merely pointless (patents in the mature
| manufacturing industries).
|
| Europe has all to gain and nothing to lose by abolishing patents outright. If
| we lead, the rest of the world will eventually follow.
