I'm writing a web app that basically acts as a proxy server, you give it a URL, it fires off the HTTP request and then parses the response on the screen essentially give you any website under the one domain.
It will give you the option to disable images and CSS or enable them.
It will also sort the relative paths so you can browse sites as you usually would.
I know there are going to be legal implications and TBH its just a project to practise my .Net. What legal issues am I likely to hit?

I know there will be legal issues that stop me ever releasing it, I just can't think what they are

i dont think there will be any, it's pretty much what a proxy does and theres plenty of perl/php/asp proxy apps about as well as software.
if you're planning to make money out of it then i wouldn't bother as theres a handful of products that will be 100 times better, otherwise go for it. Just try not to bloat it out to much as you need to keep the execution times down as much as possible.
