Is this legal?

The I3 page <http://www.i3solutions.com/quote.asp> states "we are extracting stock information from a popular stock quote portal site and converting that data into XML."

I would guess that the portal pays some other company for the stock data, and the portal itself makes $$$ through ads. When you make the XML request, you are bypassing the ad.

Any thoughts?
