I would have to say that what BlockShopper is doing is out of line and there is nothing I despise more than data scrapers who have no real knowledge of local markets undermining the rules and regulations imposed on realtors by the NAR. The display of sold property data is not allowed on agents' websites and here we have a 3rd party who is using a loophole in the system to do such a thing. Also invading people's privacy is rude and unnecessary. If you look closely at their website, they have a tab for agents, now this is where they are going to come to us and say: pay me money and I will list you here using the data you are not allowed to use. I'm not defending the NAR, they are actually doing a horrible job keeping this industry clear from all the problems which information technologies have brought to the table.

How can someone gets sued for blogging the info that is publicly available anyway ? I mean,where is free speech and all that spirit ? there are some good sites with ability to <a href="http://101nicehouses.com" rel="nofollow"> sell home free for homeowners </a> which links to other websites that are also useful.But this will only scare those who are trying to help others.
