Ask HN: Is downloading and storing user-supplied url content legal?
I am working on a side project which will accept a user-supplied URL, download the content, and store it in a structured form, so that the user can later use it for analysis.
I think PinBoard does something similar, in that it can archive the content of bookmarks.
But is this legal in the US?
Edited for clarification of country
