Answers / Scraping & robots.txt
Why isn't checking robots.txt or the Terms of Service enough?
robots.txt manages crawler traffic, not legal rights, and a single ToS scan misses most signals. A real determination reconciles at least seven signal types - robots.txt, ToS, copyright, license metadata, API terms, privacy, and technical barriers - which often conflict. AIScrapeSafe collects them all and records what it found.
