Search
Google filed a lawsuit against web crawling tool developer SerpApi at the end of last year, accusing it of scraping search results and stealing copyrighted content through 'deceptive practices.' This Friday, SerpApi fought back, stating that Google does not own the copyright to search results, as search engines are inherently based on information from global users, making Google 'the world's largest crawler.' SerpApi claims it is merely doing what Google does to everyone. Additionally, SerpApi stated that the information it scrapes comes from publicly available websites, is not protected by copyright, and does not bypass Google's SearchGuard defense mechanism, as the tool is designed to protect commercial interests rather than copyrighted content.
