If you are sued by someone and win in the US, do you not get your legal expenses covered by the entity suing you?

Also, you can probably just set up the scraper and webpage in another country or something.

often yes, but you actually have to win the case first. the idea is that you run out of money and give up before you get there.

Recovering legal fees is not automatic just because you're innocent.

You still have to pay the legal fees up front, then hopefully get reimbursed later.
