How hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn and Cases Following It Have Changed U.S. Law on Scraping
This presentation will provide an overview of the main law that U.S. companies use to combat scraping—the Computer Fraud & Abuse Act (the CFAA). The law firm where Alex works represented hiQ Labs in the groundbreaking hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn case, which significantly restricted the ability of companies to use the CFAA to prevent the scraping of publicly available data. Alex will discuss that case, what it means for scraping companies, implications for scraping data “behind the password” wall, and other recent cases addressing the scope of the CFAA.
