Damn that sucks! Just searching for Spider Search Analytics LLC brings up so many patent cases.

So today I got an email for using Apifier.com as a scraper and apparently and infringing on the patent of Spider Search Analytics LLC.<p>Has anyone else who has done scraping (which I&#x27;m sure are many of you) dealt with this? This seems pretty unprecedented an insane, not for getting sued by using another websites content, but by using a scraper at all.
