Seriously. I did a similar massive recipe scraping project a few years ago but never would have redistributed it because it’s available for me to use, but not available for me to redistribute.

For a site that gets so opinionated about GPLv3 vs LGPL vs the rest, we really seem to have no qualms about licenses when it comes to actually using other people’s things.

The authors can file a DMCA. If they don't, there's no issue. If they do, the law will sort it out.

Though it sounds like a flippant response, I've spent a lot of time trying to decide how to feel about this. (I released 194k plaintext books as the books3 dataset.)

This doesn’t seem right, like saying if you shoplift and nobody comes after you, then there’s no issue.
