in reply to Is this program I want to make legal?

Corion's points are all good and valid. And I am not a lawyer.

If the script acts on your own server to rename files, I would be very surprised if that alone were illegal. However, if you then redistribute those files under the pretense that they are their counterparts, and especially if there's a profit motive, you are getting into fraud territory. Of course, that's not the script's responsibility.

I'm still not a lawyer.


#11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.
