Am I Allowed To Do This?

I've been reading the Terms Of Service of Yahoo Answers, but I can't figure if I am allowed to do the following.

I use a Wordpress plugin to autopost questions and answers from Yahoo Answers on my blog based on my keywords. Am I allowed to link the keywords within the questions and answers to my affiliate links?

Is there any mention about this on their TOS?

    The reality is you are allowed to do whatever you want until they ask you to stop. A lot of people are pulling Yahoo Answers content to populate blogs. I personally think it's crap material. But there is nothing to stop you from doing it. Is it ethical? You'll have to answer that for yourself. Who really owns the content? The creator or Yahoo? This is the kind of stuff that can only be sorted out in court. If you can't make money with the content then why pull it in the first place?
