Ryanair wins injunction against screenscraper

Hamburg Court in Germany has upheld a decision from  a lower court which granted Ryanair an injunction against Vtours which had been selling Ryanair flights at inflated prices. The Higher Hamburg Court has now found that scraping Ryanair's web site to sell flights at higher fares is illegal in Germany. 
Ryanair allows cost comparison web sites to access it's timetable and pricing information for an annual fee of €100 which is donated to charity.
