Re: Take control
I think LinkedIn is free to take whatever action it wants to prevent screen scraping. If hiQ were to raise this in the courts, LinkedIn would point out that their use contravenes the terms of use of their web site. I can't see anyone siding with hiQ in this situation (price comparison screen scraping is a far more valuable activity and we'd have seen cases before now if there was the slightest chance of winning).
