Still waiting to hear Matt Cutt's take on this topic. Not sure it's going to happen, though. If I had to guess, this one goes above and beyond his jurisdiction.

So am I right in thinking that if Mahalo is scraping content with no way to block it, then Jason and crew are breaking the law?


I hope some people with the funds to do something about it take action, if that is the case.

I love this article.

What he should do is go exec on us. For example say "I don't know what you are talking about because I am very busy right now. Look, I have to go to a meeting right now. We didn't do anything wrong. I don't have access to the inner core anymore. BUT, if you think we allow spam. Well, you're crazy, and a nut case!"
