I think the issue comes down to if its costing Yahoo or NOT for the content.
If they are paying for the content, but we are then pulling from them for
free, I'd say that is illegal because they have bought the right to that
Data FEED (not necessarily the info). If the person is providing the data
for free, either to Yahoo, or for us to gather directly, I would say we
would all be in the clear. So we should find this out, but we are
definitely interested in getting a fully functionally CF available Stock
Ticker for our production web sites.

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.
