Which country&#39;s law applies when scraping / crawling web pages?
<p>I'm interested in the legal aspects of gathering (scraping) data from web pages with web robots / scrapers / crawlers. I am not sure which country's law applies in the case that a website is hosted in one country and accessed from a crawler program hosted in another country. Does the situation change if there are user publications on the website, from users living in none of the two countries?</p>

<p>In theory the law of every country where the web page can be accessed as well as the author’s and scraper’s location and citizenship(s) as well as the server’s location(s).</p>
