RE: Abundant information, libre open access and information literacy

I don't think anyone was suggesting that data mining is 
automatically allowed (I certainly wasn't).  What I, at least, 
was trying to say was that it does not require the content to be 
freely available (any more than indexing by search engines does). 
The content owner needs to make it open to the appropriate 
crawlers (or whatever the equivalent is in data-mining terms), 
which is not necessarily the same as making it open to everyone.

I cannot see any evidence that data mining is in all cases
allowed according US fair use. There is strong evidence that it
isn't allowed according other copyright laws e.g. of Germany:
