Ironically, sometimes I wish that LinkedIn vs HiQ verdict went the other way and made scraping LinkedIn illegal

The judge ruled towards LinkedIn in the latest ruling of that case, which I suppose most don't know about due to it being an appeal.

I did read about this. Not most know about this.

I’m not a lawyer but does that mean scraping LinkedIn is indeed illegal? Or is it still yet to be determined?

TLDR: The short answer is: it is legal to scrape LinkedIn properly. However, scraping LinkedIn a certain way could be illegal.

Scraping data from public LinkedIn profiles? Ok. Scraping data from LinkedIn profiles with fake logged-in accounts? Not ok.
