Ask HN: How do you know if your idea is legal?

1 pointevex4 comments

Every time I get an idea of a cool product I could do, I fall under if it is legal or not,

some of the ideas involve crawling other websites or using other websites content

How do you know if your idea is legal?

Research online for similar ideas and if they ran into any trouble. But ultimately, you will have to consult a lawyer, especially if you plan to make money from your idea.

Do you have any idea where I can find such lawyers online? or maybe some community where I can ask questions for free?
