Is It legal to take data from other site if I give acknowledgement


30-Jul-2023 (In Startup Law)
Hi Team, I am planning to start a HR placement company. My question: If I want to scrap the data from a XYZ.com job portal and use it on my ABC.com, but once a candidate applies on my site ABC.com he will go that specific site from where the data is copied XYZ.com. I am also ready to give the acknowledgment to XYZ.com for using their data. Is it legal or not?

Dear Sir,

At the outset there would be couple of clarifications that we would require before giving a detailed answer. However, using anyones complication for a commercial purpose would amount to unauthorised use. Merely giving acknowledgement would not siffice. However, as we mentioned earlier the facts of the matter would be imperative to address the issue in a holistic manner.

Whilst for information taking the data of another and giving acknowledgement to that person for the purpose of reporting or education would not tantamount to any violation of Intellectual Property.
