SerpApi asks a court to dismiss Google’s DMCA lawsuit, arguing Google itself scrapes the web and SerpApi only accesses public data humanely.
SerpApi, a Texas-based web scraping company, has asked a California court to dismiss Google’s lawsuit alleging DMCA violations, arguing that Google itself is the world’s largest web scraper and that SerpApi only accesses publicly available data by mimicking human behavior.
SerpApi contends its methods, such as solving CAPTCHAs and JavaScript challenges, do not circumvent technological protection measures as defined by the DMCA and are consistent with how search engines operate.
The company asserts that Google lacks copyright interest in most search results and that its lawsuit is an attempt to protect its business model rather than enforce copyright law.
The case hinges on whether Google’s anti-scraping measures qualify as protected technological protections under the DMCA.
SerpApi pide a un tribunal que desestime la demanda DMCA de Google, argumentando que el propio Google raspa la web y que SerpApi solo accede a los datos públicos de manera humana.
