    Perhaps you could apply your rules to your posts.

      Sounds like a website that shows all the results of all the other websites doing the same thing. Copyright might be a problem there unless it's hosted in some far flung lawless land.
      Thanks. Yes legalities are potentially a minefield.

      If you do use autotrader - how could you get around the copyright issue? Only use some of the description? etc

        would this project succeed in real life.? I doubt it. But then I doubted any of this comparison websites would make any money but here we are, they are making millions.
        Thanks. It's like a zoo out there with screen scrapers. Have you personally used any or are close to any out there?
