Is scraping public data the same as it being copyright-free?
No. "Publicly accessible" and "free of copyright" are different things. Most public web pages are still copyrighted, and being reachable without a login doesn't grant reuse, mining, or training rights. Public-domain or openly licensed content is the exception, not the rule, so check the license before you assume. Not legal advice.
