You’re not really going to win this argument as I’m an anti-capitalist. So I agree a lot of that stuff is wrong too. I don’t believe you should own other’s labor. The employees should own the company. And I don’t believe in copyright, but it does exist and it’s enforced against individuals, so it’s only fair it’s enforced against them as well. I don’t think you should be allowed to blindly scrape when information could be behind an agreement to use it in a specific manner if accessed. Plus I think it should be opt in based off it being a new use and therefore a new right of copyright. Just as suddenly actors need to worry if they’ll be scanned and owned by a Hollywood studio now. It’s something a reasonable person wouldn’t expect. And that’s why past works are protected from that use.
Things behind a third party privacy policy, sure. You agreed to it, whatever. But your own website? I’m not feeling it.
