Hi
@linhtpham09
. Nothing in this dataset is illegal or restricted. The terms of service for AO3 allow scraping for non-commercial purposes. See section I.F., "What you can't do". One of the things listed in that section is:
"to conduct any commercial activity, whether for direct or indirect commercial advantage, including (without limitation) making available any advertising, spam, or other solicitation, or scraping Content in order to commercialize it;"
As this dataset doesn't contain expressive works, only metadata, and was released under a noncommercial license, I will not be taking it down.
