Not just might be. Usually is.

Besides the security and technical isues already covered. The main issue
is that one is taking another parties copyrighted content and modifying
it without permission.

Many companies have tried it already, and there is a strong trend
towards going out of business due to the customer backlash and bad
reputation gained.


There is a cleaner alternative. Which is to use HTTP redirect to divert
customers to a "splash page" with your content that they have to click
through to get to where they were going. This avoids all the legal
issues and most of the securiy / techically difficulties.
