Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

I am currently a student under an F1 Visa (working towards Masters)

I recently stumbled upon getafreelancer.com and then some other sites similar to this.

I plan on picking up projects during the winter vacations (and possible some after that). I will be diverting my earnings to a paypal account to my parents in india (and then use it on ebay etc).

Since everything is online, and there is no record of a payroll or contract to my knowledge,

My question is, will I be violating any U.S. Immigration laws by doing this? (last thing I wanna do)

Will I be violating any Income Tax laws in India?

Also, will the income be taxable, if yes, where?

Thanks A lot.
