Portscan aren't exactly illegal. They *are* however a really really big annoyance, and many sysdamins don't like being portscanned or netscanned (port when you scan a host for open port, net when you scan a range with icmp, tcp ping or stuff like that). And they tend to consider portscan as being really rude.
