## Thoughts on legality
|
|
|
|
The ToS of https://abfahrtsmonitor.vrr.de state:
|
|
"Es sind sämtliche Maßnahmen zu unterlassen, die störend in die Funktion der Webseite eingreifen können. Dazu gehören auch solche, die eine übermäßige oder unzumutbare Belastung der nachgelagerten Infrastruktur zur Folge haben können."
|
|
This roughly translates as:
|
|
"You must refrain from taking any measures that may disturb the functioning of the website. This includes measures that put excessive or unreasonable load on the back-end infrastructure." |
