Facebook Crawler Speaks Back

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the everybody-litigate-now dept.

Last week we ran a story about Facebook suing to get a crawled dataset offline. This week we have a bit of a response written by Pete Warden, the guy who actually did the crawling. He followed robots.txt, and then Facebook's lawyers went after him. It's actually a quite interesting little tale and worth your time.

    There. Fixed that for ya.

    Annoying having someone tell you about your own beliefs isn't it?
