tl;dr: A judge dismissed Google's DMCA 1201 lawsuit against SerpAPI for scraping search results, ruling that Google's "SearchGuard" anti-bot system doesn't qualify as a copyright protection measure since search results largely contain non-copyrighted public info, and Google lacks authorization from actual copyright holders to deploy it on their behalf. Google can refile narrower claims covering content it actually owns (like Knowledge Panel material), but the broader attempt to weaponize the DMCA against scraping failed—an ironic outcome given Google built its business on scraping the web.
