I am considering implementing recaptcha on my company's site, but
there seems to be some concern about relying on a 3rd party server to
provide some elements on our site. What happens when ReCaptcha is
down? Is it ever down? Any comments on the reliability and downtime
would be appreciated.

Also, are there any copyrights or any legal issues we would need to
adhere to if we use ReCaptcha on our site?

Sorry if these topics were already covered, I did look :)

We run a geographically distributed set of servers, using automated health checks and failover. Sites like Facebook and Ticketmaster trust us to have near-perfect uptime. We have never in our entire history of operation had a system wide outage.

Of course, you should make your own decision as to what your software does in the extremely rare case when it can't reach reCAPTCHA.

There are no copyright/legal issues.
