GoKawiilLaw professor Eric Goldman hosts Reddit AMA on web scraping legality
Internet law professor Eric Goldman participated in a Reddit AMA with r/WebScrapingInsider, answering questions about the legal landscape of web scraping in the United States. He opened by clarifying his remarks were general legal information, not legal advice, and noted his focus was strictly on US law. Goldman described his background as an internet law generalist teaching since 1996, covering scraping and trespass-to-chattels doctrines as part of a broader portfolio including UGC liability, trademark law, and Section 230.
