I suspect if you look at the legal info on their site they will claim copyright over the contents, so by gathering this data you are probably infringing copyright. The individual bits of data may be facts, and therefore not copyrightable, but the collection as a whole is subject to database copyright and can't (or probably can't, but that means can't so far as OSM is concerned) be used.
