Parsing

Is it legal to scrape indiegogo.com?

I made an indiegogo.com project parser for myself (projects are displayed on my site in descending order of creation date). I decided to put the site in the public domain, but I found on the site of indiegogo.com itself the rules prohibiting this (as I understand it) - https://www.indiegogo.com/about/terms#/ourintellectual . Is it legal to parse indiegogo and make it public?

You feel that you are wrong. But do you need anonymous approval? If the whole question is whether you will get something for it, then most likely not. As long as you are invisible.

You found that it's not legal, why are you asking if it's legal?
The Terms of Use is a fairly official document, plus there are laws protecting copyright material regardless of such documents.
The list of projects as well as the information in them is someone's intellectual property, and in a situation where you do not know whether you can use them, you can safely assume that it is not.

It's legal to parse!
The question is different, but the data that you are parsing is for you?
If not, then parsing is a crime!
