Yahoo Finance: Is it legal to get the data (real-time) and put it on my website ?

Question

Hey guys,

I figured out how to get real-time ("live" - EDIT: but delayed by 15 minutes) stock data from yahoo finance ...now the question is : is it legal to put the data on my website ...I want to build a stock ticker for my website ....would it be legal to do that using the real time data that yahoo provides ?

Look at the bottom of the Yahoo finance page, "By accessing the Yahoo! site, you agree not to redistribute the information found therein."

If they find you scraping their site they will most likely block your IP or send you a cease and desist message.
