Opening The Backdoor To The Google Platform

Techdirt
"In a move that looks much more designed to be about getting publicity than actually being useful, someone has released, as open source, code needed to scrape Google, and present a Google clone -- sans ads."

Techdirt's Mike writes "this does highlight the legal question of whether or not compiling a database of publicly available info is copyrightable itself. It's probably in Google's best interest to simply let this one lie."
