Could do with opinions on this. I've done quite a bit of research on the legalities to use web site data via a screen scrape. To my mind I can do this as long as I don't sell the information scraped. So, if I was to sell an app that scraped data based on a users request, would this be seen as "normal use". Basically, all I believe I am doing is providing a different interface. Am I right in thinking its the end users responsibility to request formal written permission if they are going to use the information for things other than stated as "Permitted Use"?

One copyright statement reads.

Permitted Use. Viewers of this Information are granted permission to access this [NAME REMOVED] copyright material and to download the [NAME REMOVED] copyright material onto electronic, magnetic, optical or similar storage media provided that such activities are for private research, study or in-house use only. Any other use of the material requires the formal written permission of [NAME REMOVED].

Anyone else using this type of method in their apps?

Would like your opinions :-)
