    yes it is legal. RSS feeds are open for personal use. what you do with them is your problem no one is concerned. Concern is what you do with rss feeds (llike get paid for them or host them on a site). In general RSS feeds are public domain and can be redistributed without question.

    The idea behind an RSS feed is that they can be syndicated on different websites. Generally so long as you also provide a link back to the source the owner of the content will simply be happy for a backlink on your website.

    The answer: Look at the terms of use of the website providing the feed. They may have information as to what rights you have if you wish to use their RSS feed.
