> Over 2,000 students out of a campus of 5,000 were using it as of today noon, when the Yale administration began censoring it using traffic inspection. They had contacted us warning that we were using copyrighted data.

It doesn't seem automated, and if there was a DoS wouldn't they just go out and say so?



The data was scraped quite some time ago. There is no issue with a DoS on the Yale servers.


This is very unfortunate that they are doing this if the data was scraped and not hitting their servers. Is it that some part of the data they think is copyrighted (like grades) versus just courses?
