court ruling a few years ago said it's legal to scrape web pages, you don't need to be respectful of these for any purely legal reasons
however this doesn't stop the website from doing what they can to stop scraping attempts, or using a service to do that for them

Isn't this country dependent though?
don't you know everyone on the internet is American
Enforcement is not. What does the US care for what an EU court says about the legality of the OpenAI scraper.
They can charge the company continuously growing amounts in the EU and even ban a complete IP block if they don't fix their behavior.
I understand there's a balance of power, but I was under the impression that US tech companies were taking EU regulations seriously.
yes! good point, you may be able to skirt around rules with a VPN if you're imposed by any
