: Wrapping web site Using hosted web app solution, you can easily wrap any existing website and create Widows App. The same you can do for Andriod and iOS using manifoldjs. So I can create many

@Moriarity557

Actually, this is far more gray than most seem to realize. That is one of the major flaws of existing ip law.

If you propose an app that formats information drawn directly from the web, it's likely that you are only going to run afoul of their trademark rights, not their copyrights.

Why?

Copyright:
They are presenting that information to the web. You aren't providing access to something that the user doesn't have access to. In fact, as lazy as you make this sound, you are probably not even copying anything.

Trademark:
Trademarks are legal identifications that protect entities from others deceiving the public about the source of goods and relations to products and services. More or less.

To avoid that legal issue would require making it obvious that you are doing what you are doing and are not actually affiliated with these people.

If you did that, it probably would be legal. Not sure why anyone would want your product, but there you go.

Confusion is a trademark issue. Significance of a copied section is a copyright issue. They are distinct types off intellectual property laws.

Using hosted web app solution, you can easily wrap any existing website and create Widows App.....So I can create many hosted apps, ad some ads and put in apps stores. Do I need some agreement with owner of the site?


As closetnoc pointed out...

YES

If you plan on turning websites into apps, you need to at least have full rights to that websites or at least sufficient rights depending on the agreements the owners of each website has with you or the general public.

These agreements are sometimes known as "terms and conditions" and is often available as a separate page on professional websites.
