On August 3, a large classified advertising company filed a
stipulated judgment of $31 million to settle and release
claims against a used-car listing service that scraped contact
information and other content from the advertising giant's
website. According to the agreement, the listing service copied
content from the advertising company's website, including
users' contact information and pictures, and sent emails to the
users seeking more information, which it then used to create
unauthorized advertisements on its own website.
