    Hello,
    i want to launch a website for detecting invisibility status of yahoo messenger users. What do you say? This kind of site is illegal or not?

    Thank you in advance

    It all depends on how your achieving it.

    In principle, if there is nothing installed on anyone elses computer (other than the user of your service or your servers) and your not using some form of packet sniffer then there is no reason it would be illegal. It may however breach the terms of Yahoo's service and therefore open you up to a civil action (but not criminal).

    If your installing software on peoples machines without their knowledge/ permission or having to intercept packets etc then it may be illegal depending on which country you/ your servers are based in and the legal juristictions that are involved.

    Hello,

    there is nothing installed on visitor's computer. I will have to read a little bit more the terms from Yahoo.

    Thank you very much for your quick answer. Good day

    By an affiliation program. My website will "ask" another site about the status of provided id, and i will only display the response (provided by that site)

    This kind of website is legal! Sure it's legal, check my website-> Yahoo check <- launched on 4th.nov.2010

    Google, Yahoo and Bing already indexed and displaying in search results ;)

    Here you can find the website where to get the frame, which is doing all the job for you ;)

    It's free and all they need is to return a backlink from your website

    I hope it helped ;)

    Peace!
