So the complete steps for you would be:

1. Collect the TOS and other license info from all the sites that you would wish to use this way.
2. Collect the robots.txt files.
3. Collect all of the information about your company.
4. Contact a lawyer and get a legal opinion on what you are trying to do.


These steps will get you good insight as to where your possible liabilities would be for offering this as a service or product. You will want to actually go through these steps as when you step over the threshold of doing something like this for personal use to doing it for profit you become a much bigger target for legal actions. I personally would not do it unless I had a lawyer tell me that there was very solid ground to stand on and I had some sort of company entity to sheild me from liability.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
