I don't have a black and white answer, but this is how I approach it...

Everything is against the rules. There is a law prohibiting anything and everything. The cardinal rule is: "If you are asking for permission, the answer is no!" On this basis you proceed to do whatever it is you are trying to do.

You might try consulting an attorney who will analyse the TOS and consider jurisprudence presidents to answer your question;)

Good Luck!
