Naughtiness was using CL to seed their site in the first place. After the Cease and Desist, using 3Taps as a source CL data was simply walking into a lawsuit.

Generally, I don't think you want your naughtiness to tie you up in a legal battle.



Case will never go to trial. Maybe a "legal battle" was the only option.

Can CL "win"? Can they stop everyone else, PadMapper is but the first of many, no doubt, from re-displaying facts (classified ads) in different formats?


If CL doesn't want this to happen, all they need to do is add <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> and we're done.
