"stole" market share. You got it. "[S]tole" was just a figure of speech. And that is in fact what meant by stole.

re: scraping. This is something that has come before the courts a few times (I'm thinking Ebay and a few others; although it might have been called "crawling"). Do you think CL can win on a claim of "scraping"?

Yes, they probably can. Read those actual cases. In particular, in the cases where the scraper/crawler won, read why they won.

Have you read the CL complaint?
