[QUOTE="Vitali Ortzi, post: 1128344, member: 57714"] The api was public for lookups so osprey made use of it and malwareurl decided that wasn't fair use and blocked the access and since then osprey immediately removed that provider to comply with his request Btw google , Microsoft and almost every big tech makes similar usage of apis so it's not exactly illegal but without explicit permission it can be interpreted either way but since osprey removed it immediately after a request was made then there is nothing "illegal" and even then it depends on a court order to decide if it is actually illegal or fair use [/QUOTE]
