This week a court told Google it cannot stop others from scraping Google. The firm scrapes Google search results and resells them as structured data. The problem, the court found, is that search results are not copyrighted material. Reddit filed a near-identical DMCA suit in October against SerpApi and Perplexity, over Reddit content that surfaces in Google results. The stakes are the same ones running through Google’s AI search overhaul and its fights with regulators over search data.
