Almost incredible. An extract (translated to English): "no hyperlink TO [our site] can be done without prior agreement". I hope they're suing Google too :)
I'm ashamed to be french when I see this kind of horse shit. The internet is not compatible with their TOS.
It is a cease and desist letter on the use of a name «lebonXXX.fr» that in all due respect seem is a clear parasitism of a registred brand: it bears a similar name, it is related to the activity of the original site. And le boncoin.fr is registered @ l'INPI (national registration office of brands).
In PI law, the infringement is about the confusion that results in the brand aka reputation and not on the use of an external API.
It does not mean I support leboncoin, because I could not care less. @ least I don't appreciate people misleading others based on fake victimisation.

I am now building some kind of (read) API to the website.
The work is in progress, and on a restricted area (one country) I am able to index all pages in near real time (near...).
Maybe someone of you may be interested into some info or collaboration ?

This post is confusing both because I do not speak French and because the caffeine hasn't kicked in yet, so I read that as LeBron Coin. Which doesn't seem all that bad for a gimmicky crypto currency, honestly.
So there's this website that's the 7th in france according to Alexa ( http://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/FR ) It's the craigslist of france. They don't have email alerts so I built a web app that does just that. Then they noticed the traffic from my server (I guess) and blocked my IP from scraping their site, making the app basically useless, so I just forgot about it. Now they are telling that I'm using their t…

Why are all the French so ashamed to be French all the time? I've seen Frenchmen ashamed to be French when a Le Pen won something somewhere. I've seen Frenchmen ashamed to be French when an anti piracy group pirates a logo. I've seen Frenchmen ashamed to be French when some president felt the need to compensate for something by blowing up a nuclear bomb in the pacific. Somehow, anecdotally, being ashamed to be born s…

For those who don't read French and don't wish to investigate too much, "leboncoin" (le bon coin) roughly means "the good neighborhood/hangout" (and literally means "the good corner") in French.

You have a point, but even if the author rebranded his website, he would still violate the TOS when providing direct links to listings (and maybe when scraping the website but this is not clearly forbidden in the TOS). The discussion is mostly about this (I think).
And the author is misdirecting the readers by providing a document not related to the claim he makes (TOS infringement vs «droit des marques» infringement).
EDIT/PS «nul ne peut se prévaloir de ses propres turpitudes» means that you cannot prevail your self of any wrongs if it is initially resulting from you not respecting the law. For instance if you build your company on a clearly fraudulent base (parasitism), you cannot claim for any reparation if you are shut down because it is a clear consequence of your actions. As a result, for the lawyer «faisceau de présomption valant preuve» his credibility in front of any juridiction would be voided.
