More Glitches in the ATS Matrix

[Maxmars]

I feel like discussing scraping the ATS database is like metaphorically "waiting for the other shoe to drop."

At some point, the answer seems to point to being technically able to rescue the posts and research of the deteriorating ATS platform, but not without breaking some notional contract using the preposterous Madison Avenue/Hollywood-esque verbiage "... everything is ours in perpetuity in this universe and all others."  (I find such legal contrivances laughably shameful.)

I must point out that the member/creator does not "transfer" their rights to TAN by by posting... they only "grant" specific rights... creators; by default they retain their own rights to use their created material as they wish.  This isn't Hollywood or Madison Avenue - as much as the "owners" wished it were.

Ultimately, this quandary is left to be resolved when the eventual "owner" surfaces.
