[sword-devel] host[ing] despite legality

[Greg Hellings]

Technologically it should not be an overly difficult way, but I would be 
wary of the way that this could be viewed by the copyright holder and by the 
respective authorities. Seeing as how I'm neither a lawyer nor an expert on 
"intellectual propery" laws, I don't know, but if someone does have an 
authoritative opinion on that, it would be an interesting idea. I have 
thought of a similar technology in the past, but never was willing to put 
myself at risk for using it until I had a definite legal opinion on the 
matter.
