    List of libraries, tools and APIs for web scraping and data processing.

    • >I can scrape linkedin with a python script. That doesn't mean linkedin can shut down python.

    Well said!

    Also, what about copy-and-paste? The last time I checked, data could be highlighted in the browser, copied, and pasted...

    Does that mean that LinkedIn can shut down the copy-and-paste capability of your browser and/or operating system?

    What about "Save Page As..." functionality (the ability of a browser to save a page offline?)

    Can LinkedIn shut down "Save Page As..." ?

    Also, what about the Print Screen (take a screen snapshot) capabilities of your operating system?

    Can LinkedIn shut down that?

    Finally, there's literally oodles of software that can be used for web scraping; what follows below is just one non-canonical list:

    Is LinkedIn going to shut down all of that, at the same time?

    Anyway, an excellent point about Python!
