It's interesting to think about how this differs from Craigslist going after scrapers. Linkedin is objecting on the basis of DMCA (copyrights) and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (alleging unlawful access of their public website).

>Nate Cardozo, a senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco, said copyright law doesn’t apply to this case because information from LinkedIn profiles, like when someone worked at a particular company, are facts, not creative works like music or films.

I wonder if copyright applied to Craigslist posts or if the fact that a house is for rent is just a fact.
