    Please can someone with more legal knowledge than me claify that http://rapidfox.net is in some way illegal?

    I mean it uses google...i think and searches for rapidshare stuff which is legal but you can easily get warez off it if you wanted...

    Please can someone enlighten me?

    Thanks

    Technically, this is where the lines are blurred. Rapidfox isn't hosting any of the content, so are they responsible? No. They MAY have SOME responsibility depending on who you ask.

    But then generally, Google's in the same boat because they link to warez too. So does every other search engine.

    wtf .So google is illegal too then :D this is how things go.i can put as much as warez links and put a user submit form .then site is totally legal (of course on submit form yo hav to put a disclaimer about Copyrted material etc).You can find lots of law cases about this.Only if any thing reported you have to remove it.


    This was just a example.So that site is illegal?No.Are they breaking google TOS?No
