Is it ever illegal to query a whois database?  I've heard rumors that
you can get sued because the information whois databases contain is
considered personal.

Are there any guidelines that I should follow using whois such as
not using it in a script?  What is the legality of doing whois 
queries for the same domain name multiple times?
