Yes, I remember those discussions here in HN. The simple fact was they had built and entire product around someone else's data. They maintained an "f-you" attitude even after the cease and desists. Those companies got hammered because of their arrogance. They could have built a CL-killer but instead they built a CL-piggybacker but did so in a way that violated CL's terms of use.

By "somebody else's data" you mean the end users who list their properties on Craigslist, right?
