I just encountered an article (Yahoo News) concerning RSS blog feeds and copyright. Why would anyone generate a blog and then be concerned about people picking up the content through an RSS feed? I am trying to understand how this could be an issue. Perhaps the “author” has some method for generating revenue based on the number of visits to his/her site. Beats me.
I have been exploring the copyright issues associated with the TEACH Act. Anyone who writes about copyright seems to run into the same problem. The answers people want are seldom clarified in the law. There is also the matter of interpreting if some vague concept applies to your situation. That is why we all say – I am not a lawyer and this information is intended for educational use. Contact a lawyer if you are looking for answers. By the way, I called a lawyer with my questions yesterday. He said he would get back to me. š
