$970,650 awarded over Whois scraper lawsuit

by Andrew

Nominet UK won $1,300,000 AUS (about $970,650 USD) in a data mining lawsuit over a company that scraped data out of their public whois database and then mailed registration “invoices” to the domain owners. The defendants were found “liable for copyright infringement and breaches of Australian fair trade laws.”
