Hi Michal, appreciate the advice, and yes, I would be talking to a real lawyer if I could afford it - however, at this stage I can't, and because this isn't going to be my main source of income, I can't really justify spending what I do have on this. At this stage, it's only really going to be a "hobby" type service - just wanted to make sure what I was doing wasn't going to have negative legal ramifications, and I thought I'd ask a few who maybe had experience with it :) Thanks for your input!

I wanted to know if there were special licenses needed, and whether we would be responsible if that information were used to commit a crime, or not?You're to make a business out of it; shouldn't you be talking to a real lawyer? (And if you're radically opposed to the idea of receiving authoritative advice, it would be helpful to specify which national laws you expect to be subject to ;-) /mz
