That part is exactly the same it always has been in America. It was worse with the food industry a century ago. Much worse. So they passed laws and now it's a lot better.

Lots of industries grew as fast as tech, back when they were tech. Like planes, trains, and automobiles. Personal computers and their impact on business is far bigger an impact than tech. The industrial revolution was a much bigger impact on GDP than tech today. Almost an order of magnitude.

If you want to see no accountability, look up what the Dutch India company did in their territories. A literal startup company enslaved and committed genocide with their private armies, just for profit. There was a lot more social chaos from just that.

LinkedIn won that case because the data that was being scraped didn't belong to LinkedIn (it belonged to the users who submitted it), so they had no grounds to claim copyright protection over it, and because the scraper otherwise had no contractual relationship with LinkedIn that would preclude them from doing so.

This is not that case.

Definitely for the former reason; since it involves the Bing API, which you do have to agree to a contract with Microsoft for access to and is not available non-authenticated or anonymously -- so normal contract law applies and if the terms of the contract say "you can't use this API to do that" then you can't use that API to do that.

And very possibly for the former reason too; since it's not the content of the indexed pages that being used but the compilation and organization of it; which courts have held is copyrightable even if you don't own the specific pieces of content themselves. Bing doesn't have copyright over the pages indexed, but they very likely could claim copyright over the fact that their search returns those specific results.

It's not the writing that matters. It's part of developing critical thinking skills and being able to analyze and evaluate information, arguments, and ideas. This process helps you learn how to articulate your thoughts and ideas in a clear and concise manner.
