Padmapper is probably getting enough publicity out of this to get over the critical mass problem and will be able to rely on their own listings.
Craigslist content is user generated, and the copyrights remain property of the users. While facts aren't copyrightable anything that padmapper displays that isn't just a fact, photos or a realtor's description for example, is a copyright violation.
This is why sites like stack overflow are awesome, because they licence "their" content, aka your work cc-wiki and claim no ownership.
The bummer here is not that craigslist is suing over unauthorized data access, it's that your work is too restrictively licenced on their site to be of maximum benefit to you.
