Apartment Search Engine PadMapper Gets A Cease-And-Desist From Craigslist, Removes Listings

padmapper logoIt's been years since I've had to look for an apartment, but in that time multiple friends have sung the praises of PadMapper (TechCrunch alumnus Greg Kumparak is a fan too). Usually, they describe it as a mashup of Google Maps and Craigslist. Starting today, unfortunately, they'll have to scratch "Craigslist" from the equation. According to an account that creator Eric DeMenthon published on the PadMapper blog, and that he elaborated on over email, Craigslist's lawyer sent him a cease-and-desist letter earlier this week, demanding that PadMapper take down any postings from Craigslist. The lawyer also sent DeMenthon a mobile license, so he could pay to use the postings in a mobile app.
