This subject line is a bit misleading - if CFHTTP was illegal, I can't imagine Allaire would have risked implementing it ;-) The real question you're asking is: Is it illegal to use web applications or content, via CFHTTP, that are not intended for use by third parties, and passing them off as your own? Well, I've no firm idea about the letter of the law on this, but to me you may as well be asking if walking into a supermarket and taking a bag of apples without paying for them is illegal! Further, even if there's some legal loophole you can jump through, IMHO it's *wrong* to do something like this. If you think the people whose stuff you're using wouldn't mind, I'd at least get in touch with them to confirm. If you think they *would* mind... well, you've kind of answered your own question there ;-) - Gyrus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - [EMAIL PROTECTED] work: http://www.tengai.co.uk play: http://www.norlonto.net - PGP key available ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
