Ah ok, so the illegal bit is not making it clear that the content is 
owned by someone else. I guess that's why in Google image search it 
shows the web domain it comes from when you hover over a result.

So in my Yahoo example, given that the Yahoo pages and the charts 
themselves all show the Yahoo name and a copyright notice, in theory I 
should be free to include these on a web site or app, so long as I make 
it clear they come from Yahoo.com (or whatever) and I don't deliberately 
hide or obscure the Yahoo name and copyright notice.
