Yes they are legal as long as you have the rights to show the content on your site.
Just because google doesnt like something doesnt make it illegal.
Please correct me if i am wrong from what i have said. But i do not think its illegal to run an autoblog

It is legal to run an autoblog, and Google doesn't mind them as long as they contain decent content. You must be careful whether you are permitted to use he content, and under what terms. For example Google news will allow you to use their content as long as it is for a non commercial site.

AutoBlogging software is as legal as P2P software...in other words, completely and totally legal. Where the illegality of it comes in, is with it's use.
Use P2P software to download copyrighted content, and you're breaking the law. Use it to download a movie your sister made on her camera that she wants to share with people across the globe...perfectly legal.
Use autoblog software that is only grabbing content that is legal to re-print elsewhere, perfectly legal. Use autoblog software that is grabbing content that is copyrighted and not legal for re-print/re-distrubition elsewhere...illegal.
In other words, autoblog software is inherently legal in and of itself. The legality of it comes in with it's use (and even then, it isn't the software that broke the law, it is the user).

Well, i think WP Robot is legal since the only thing it does is pulling products off eBay and Amazon. However, if you use other autoblogging plugins that pull content from famous blogs and your blog starts getting traffic or monetized, this might upset the owners of these blogs, and if that happens they can file a C&D (Cease and Desist).
I have many autoblog, but not facing any troubles up until now.
Good luck anywas!

Yeah, yeah! I use it and it's perfectly legal. It won't do anything besides pulling content from Amazon & eBay. Go for it!

In most cases, yes it is legal, it depends to the content and the way you make it.. you can have a legal and white hat autoblog.. or you can go the black hat way.. .
It's not illegal or something against google to have an automatic website! it's all about the auto-generated content.. .
@macdonjo3, I'm not a lawyer lol but you can PM me the url I will check it and give you my opinion.
