Ask HN: How are services that scrape Google Search Results legal?

2 points by appsonify ↗ HN
So I'm getting into a heated argument as to whether its okay to take another company's product & intellectual properties, without a license deal, without their knowing and without their explicit permission, slap a logo and a website and begin selling it?

Please explain how this could be morally justified, leaving legal ramifications aside for now.

Sounds like precisely what Google does?
how does google take your company's software product, repackage it, and charge monthly subscription for it without telling your CEO and legal team about it. Please, I'm all ears.
