SerpApi要求法院驳回Google的DMCA诉讼, 认为Google自己剪切网络, SerpApi只人道地访问公共数据。
SerpApi asks a court to dismiss Google’s DMCA lawsuit, arguing Google itself scrapes the web and SerpApi only accesses public data humanely.
位于得克萨斯州的一家网络报废公司SerpApi(SerpApi)要求加利福尼亚州一家法院驳回Google指控DMCA违规行为的诉讼,认为Google本身是世界上最大的网络报废商,而SerpApi只通过模仿人类行为获取公开的数据。
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辩称,它的方法,例如解决CAPTCHAs和JavaScript挑战的方法,并没有绕过DMCA规定的技术保护措施,而且与搜索引擎的运作方式是一致的。
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.
该公司声称,谷歌对多数搜索结果缺乏版权兴趣,其诉讼是为了保护其商业模式,而不是执行版权法。
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.
这取决于Google的反垄断措施是否有资格成为DMCA下受保护的技术保护。
The case hinges on whether Google’s anti-scraping measures qualify as protected technological protections under the DMCA.
