Craigslist's #1 asset is their gigantic amount of classifieds. There's really nothing else going for them.

Any service competing with Craigslist that uses those classifieds might not be stealing them, but its certainly in Craigslist's best interest to keep their most valuable asset safe.




I'm still technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.


I wasn't saying you were incorrect, mainly because I'm not nearly well-versed in law enough to define 'stealing' in such a nuanced context.

I'm simply saying that Craigslist has a vested interest in keeping their data/facts/ads/whatever on their platform.
