What courts have actually held about scraping, crawling, and training-data acquisition. Answers questions in the form an engineer asks them: does ignoring robots.txt create liability, does a browsewrap bind a bot, is public data outside the CFAA. Records binding scope honestly — a Ninth Circuit holding is not US law — and tracks the full history of hiQ v LinkedIn, which is routinely cited as making scraping legal and which hiQ ultimately lost on contract. Covers the EU text-and-data-mining exceptions and their opt-out. Free — this call costs nothing. No account or payment required.
