Scegliamo noi chi ci puo’ indicizzare… gli altri, facciano richiesta scritta

Questo e' cio' che sarebbe stato detto, minacciando di guerra legale, ad un programmatore che ha indicizzato parti di facebook, essendo aderente a cio' che prevedeva robots.txt.

Facebook gli avrebbe detto che non ha valore legale e per indicizzare, deve prima avere un permesso scritto.

roba da matti..

questa non e' l'Internet che mi piace, ma meno male che, al di fuori da questi giganti che fanno tanta notizia, c'e' sempre un'internet sana…

PeteSearch: How I got sued by Facebook.

The attorney said that they were just about to sue me into oblivion, but in light of my previous good relationship with their security team, they'd give me one chance to stop the process. They asked and received a verbal assurance from me that I wouldn't publish the data, and sent me on a letter to sign confirming that. Their contention was robots.txt had no legal force and they could sue anyone for accessing their site even if they scrupulously obeyed the instructions it contained. The only legal way to access any web site with a crawler was to obtain prior written permission.
