Google lost a court case against SerpApi, a web scraper it had sued under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act for bypassing anti-scraping technology to sell search results. Despite the defeat, Google says it will continue fighting to block AI bots from scraping its data.
The scraper responded by stating that neither Google nor Reddit own the internet, while Reddit remains oddly involved in the dispute. The case centers on Google's claims that scraping threatens its relationships with content licensors for knowledge panels.
