I'd say that at best if violates the TS. It is clearly scraping data in a manner that is totally inconsistent with the rules of the sources of that data. It is reselling that data. That is fraud. If you take a look at how the business behind this is concealed it becomes obvious that the owner clearly knows that. No legitimate business conceals itself like that.
