As long as you A. don't try to profit off pirating copyrighted content and B. have processes in place to respond to removal requests, many countries allow you to use sofware like ArchiveBox to ethically and responsibly archive any web content you can view. That being said, ArchiveBox is not liable for how you choose to operate the software. You must research your own local laws and regulations, and get proper legal council if you plan to host a public instance (start by putting your DMCA/GDPR contact info in <a href="https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration#footer_info"><code>FOOTER_INFO</code></a> and changing your instance's branding using <a href="https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration#custom_templates_dir"><code>CUSTOM_TEMPLATES_DIR</code></a>).
