An ongoing legal conflict has emerged between the owners of Realtor.com and CoStar, with a focus on the intricacies of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA).

This ruling would have permitted Realtor.com’s parent company to amend its CFAA claim, which accuses CoStar of unlawfully accessing its competitor’s computers. CoStar’s legal team contends that the allegations should be confined to claims of “technological harms.”
