TREB deploys anti-scraping services, firewalls, IDS, and **encrypted token authentication** as Technological Protection Measures (TPMs)
Summary
Claim. TREB deploys anti-scraping services, firewalls, intrusion detection, and encrypted token authentication as Technological Protection Measures (TPMs). Circumventing them implicates Copyright Act s.41.
Source. TREB v. Mongohouse litigation record via torkin.com, accessed 2026-06-21.
Confidence. Verified.
Caveats. TPM characterisation matters legally — the Mongohouse outcome rests in part on the s.41 TPM-circumvention claim.
Implication / use. The factual basis for the no-scraping rule. Anchors Rule: no scraping. TPM circumvention is unlawful (TREB v. Mongohouse permanent injunction) alongside TREB v. Mongohouse (2019) — permanent injunction; scraping MLS by circumventing TPMs is unlawful (Copyright Act s.41 + AUA + third-party licence breaches).
