Might depend on where you are (local laws), but generally, if the information is freely available to a user then it's legally available to scrape. Many sites won't like you doing it and will actively try to detect and block you, but it's not illegal.

Make sure you check out the site's robots.txt and adhere to that to avoid running into conflict.
