Century 21 Canada sues Zoocasa

That didn’t take long. Two weeks after an expensive bash to publicly launch Zoocasa.com, Rogers Media is being sued by Century 21 Canada, according to a report in the Financial Post. The newspaper says C21 accuses the real estate web site of “scraping” its listings; Zoocasa claims it only organizes information about neighborhoods and links out to real estate companies’ own web sites. Indeed, the full listing only appears after you leave Zoocasa, but address, price, number of bedrooms and more are captured on Zoocasa. We’ll see if Rogers has more stomach for a fight than Bell Canada had when it tried something similar. Those who’d like to see an end to the realtors’ cartel will be hoping so.
