That CFAA threat is absolutely disgusting. Seriously, what is wrong with Zillow that they think this response is even remotely okay? When you combine that threat with a response they gave the Verge, this is an absolutely chilling example of corporate malfeasance:

“Zillow has a legal obligation to honor the agreements we make with our listing providers about how photos can be used,” Zillow tells The Verge in a statement. “We are asking this blogger to take down the photos that are protected by copyright rules, but we did not demand she shut down her blog and hope she can find a way to continue her work.”

You hope she can continue her work....from a fucking jail cell?
