United States First Circuit

The district court's use of a "reasonable expectations" test, in determining whether use of a "scraper tool" to collect pricing information from plaintiff's website exceeded authorized access, did not support an independent preliminary injunction against defendant, but injunction not vacated because defendant is precluded, like anyone else with notice, from acting contrary to the ordering language of the injunction.
