The world of public data collection for businesses

Web scraping is quite a challenging technical task, but that’s not the only aspect that makes it tough. Together with technical questions, it raises a whole lot of legal questions as well. Scraping usually involves at least two parties – the scraper and the one being scraped. Naturally, a question can be brought up whether any legal relationship is formed between the two, and can one party claim something from the other if public data from the web was scraped? There aren't that many industries where conflict is kind of “hardcoded” into the core of the business/industry itself, so how does one stay on the legal side while growing and being prosperous in this industry?
