Devogen Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Bots are created for many different reasons. The only time I needed to create a bot is when I was farming for Gold on StarWars Galaxies. The bot basically handles all the exceptions that may occur.Bots just automate tasks that would otherwise be boring as batpoo, or to create fake accounts , spam - or automatically update news feeds etc.. there are some legitimate purposes for them.Just google "Creating a Bot"Google is God.

YOUR-DOOM Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 I meant a web bot, and I understand more about it now. However, how would I create one for the web? What would be a good language? And is there a program out there that will let me make them?I have no idea why I want one. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Refuge Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Well, as for spiders, they are mainly used for scanning web pages looking for certain things…A nice spider that I use (all the time) is [HTTrack](http://www.httrack.com/)… It could download all of Eclipse if had enough space!

YOUR-DOOM Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'm downloading it. Dude I think I'll like it. As long as a site isn't copy right, I can just download…..modify.....and (microwave) BING I've got a custome site.I'll get back to you with a reply AFTER I USE IT. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The best language would obviously be something like C/C++ but also VB6 and Java could do the job for instance it all depends on you and the references available.Also if Google's bots/spiders/crawlers go around and spam then it's certainly not from Google unless they got insane and tried to test stuff.Regards, Godlord.

YOUR-DOOM Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 I went to a website (proboards.com), and it had an obvious Copyright at the bottom of there page.If a website doesn't have a copyright on there page does that meen it and its objects (swf, php, gif…) are free for the taking?For example there are arcade sites, and I would like to take some of there .swf files. However if it is illeagal then I would rather stear clear. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The copyright is for the web page mainly. The content may/may not be affected by the copyright depending on the content.If copyright is unavailable it doesn't mean the content is free or not. It just means that you're not allowed to copy it or claim it to be yours as that would be plagiarism.Also PHP can't be downloaded unless a link is provided for it to be downloaded.Regards, Godlord.

dacypher Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Even if something is not copyrighted, you cannot take it and use it for your own use. Anything created by someone else is considered "intellectual property". The only thing the copyright does is prove that X was created by person Y on Z date in case they have to go to court to protect it.For you to be able to download it and use it on your own site, the owner must give permission. This means that they must state in clear language that it is either A. Intended for the public domain or B. Offering a publicly available (such as GNU) license or custom license giving users the ability for some uses of the property while they still retain partial control over it. Option B is uses far more often these days than Option A.It does not matter if you plan to make money from the property or not. Someone else's property is still their property, and you could be sued for damages occurring by your use of it.When in doubt, contact the owner and ask them if your use of their material is appropriate.

Personally I think it would be impossible to contact that many owners, and get their approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
