Yahoo PAYED for their stock market feed. By stealing the content from their
site, you're taking money from both their pockets, and whoever they get
their feed from..

Yes, but in the case of Stock Quotes, they are not Yahoo's content. Yahoo is
syndicating this information from the stock market. I understand the line of
thinking here, but I just want to play devil's advocate for a minute. Who
owns the rights to stock market quotes? In the end, all sights are
syndicating the data. If I pulled Yahoo's financial forecast for the future
of a particular stock, I could see how that might be an infringement, but
just the latest stock prices? I'd be interested in the legal argument
here...

I would assume that any tag that takes content and repurposes for another
web site w/o permission of the original web site would be illegal. Of
course, this reminds of the conversation about discovering someone stealing
your graphics by using <IMG SRC="http://www.yourserver.com" and replacing
the graphic with something a bit embarassing. You could do the same thing
here if you find that someone is syndicating your content w/o your approval.
