In the course of a recent project, I was charged with building a fully functioning data scraper for, amongst other sites, Myspace profiles. The short of the system is to retrieve a myspace profile (owned by the EU) and disseminate the information to the database of the 3rd party site; basically cutting out the need to fill out yet another profile on yet another site. As a legal friend explained to me, the crawing of the sites is deemed to be a violation of their TOS, while an additional section makes claims that the information is owned solely by the individually posting it, who then has the right to do whatever they wish with the information they have provided. An awful double loophole

[...] Oh wait, there’s already legal trouble a-brewing. They’re likely seeing the same threats that took down SingleStat.us, a service that would send notification when someone on your MySpace crush list went from “taken” to “single.” [...]

[...] It was only a matter of time: MySpace has sent a cease and desist letter to DatingAnyone, the dating site that made it easy to keep track of your friends’ relationship status on their MySpace profiles. Techcrunch and Valleywag reported last week on an identical site – SingleStat.us – that suffered the same fate, so it was obvious the game was up. MySpace claims that DatingAnyone “constitutes an automated script program” and that “such programs place an undue burden on the MySpace servers”. [...]

I hate myspace as much as the next guy, But I don’t see a problem with thier lettter.

The myspace terms does clearly state that people may not use automated scripts to query thier servers, So what grounds to people have to complain when myspace asks them not to do it?

I get the feeling peoples opinions would be different if thier site was being exploited so someone ellse can make money from thier hand work while using thier bandwidth and CPU cycles.

[...] Last week startup Singlestat.us closed its doors in response to a MySpace cease and desist letter. The same letter, with a different name and address, is the cause of the shutdown of DatingAnyone.com, a site that, like Singlestat.us, lets you know when someone’s relationship status changes on MySpace.

If myspace had a public RSS feed would that really change anything for singlestatus? I don’t think so…
