Hello,
I would like to know if it's not illegal to put another website in the wrapper component. I mean, wrapper is a solution to integrate an entire website into your joomla site. If it's not legal to use content from another site without permission of the owner, do you think really it's legal to integrate an entire website throught wrapper?

- I think if you wrap a site up in yours and its not yours and youre not having anything related with the owner I think you should ask him if its ok. But for me, using a wrapper (in example I have an Xbox 360 Site and wrap an Xbox Live Marketplace page from a different site), its almost exactly like using a Google Search Website tool on your site.

- I would think that opening a site in your wrapper is no different than opening it in a browser. All of the advertising the source has in place is still there and all their links are intact, your wrapper simply opened it up like any browser would

Humm! perhaps but I really don't know if it's legal or not.
Well, in this exactly case, the wrapper component let you display an entire site. I think it's not like copying contents (?)...
For example, I put the Yellow Page website in my portal with wrapper. When a visitor use the YP service throught my portal, it's one more visitor for the YP site. Isn't it?

Problems with Frames. Frames are used to subdivide web pages into multiple parts. In most cases, frames are used only to show multiple pages of content from the same site at the same time. For example, frames could be used to divide a browser into two parts, with one part containing an index for the web site and the second containing content pages. While this type of use is perfectly legal, problems can arise if a frame is used to show pages from two web sites at the same time.
The use of frames in this way can mislead the viewer of a site as to the creator of its content, possibly raising issues of copyright infringement, passing off, defamation, and trademark infringement, just like the linking situations described above. The party that developed the Totalnews web site found this out by using frames to show other news organizations sites at the same time as showing their index and advertisements. The other web sites were not amused, and filed suit.

seems to me like it could be illegal if you make it look like its your work. also if you surround the wrapper with ads to try and make money from someone else's work.
if using the wrapper, i would suggest making it very clear that the wrapped website is not yours. - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

Hi GollumX!
Very interessant article and the explanation is clear. In my case, and if I compare my work with the article, I think it's not an infringement because I'm showing the entire page in the wrapper.

Hey Franck,
i agree. it is quite obvious that the wrapped content is not part of your website and i don't think anybody would mistake it as yours.
by the way, i like the font you used in your header
