    The only legal issues regarding RSS feeds I'm aware of is regarding how they are used. There are a large percentage of sites that make their feeds available only for use in feed readers by their visitors. They don't want these feeds to be syndicated and used as content on other sites. Doing so would be copyright infringement. The best practice would be to obtain permission from the site owner before including their feed on your site.
