Can I use other favicons sites without asking for their permission?

I collect RSS headlines, and instead of the site name I would like to use its icon. Is this allowed by law or should I ask permission from each site (in this case, it just does not scale)?

Example: http://i53.tinypic.com/30ws7qv.png

Implementation:

<a href="http://nytimes.com/article" class="nytimes-favicon">Headline</a>

I understand that this is not a programming issue. I just could not find the answer anywhere.

I am sure that everything is in order, since you can add any RSS feed for any RSS reader site and display its icon. Just do not pass it as yours, and you are golden.

Yes, you can use it by asking them. They can also sue without asking you.
