Proxy server for off-site access to Web licensed products

[Alejandro Garza Gonzalez]

I'd have to ask, is doing this, since it can be potentially harmful for 
the service provider (EB, IAC etc), is it OK with them for you (or anyone 
else) to do this sort of thing?

I'm sure there can be an arrangement made with some of these providers, 
but I would just want to remind you and anyone else who is trying to do 
this to look into it.
