Ars Technica: The years-long legal battle between Craigslist and 3taps has finally come to a close, resulting in the longstanding case being settled. 3taps will shut down, and the company agreed to pay Craigslist $1 million as part of the settlement. Craigslist will in turn donate that money to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The case began in July 2012 when Craigslist sued PadMapper, a site that created a better interface for Craigslist apartment listings, and 3taps, which scraped Craigslist data and made it available to other websites.
