There is an interesting debate over on the Online Journalism blog, about RSS feeds. Someone is suggesting that the BBC should do full feeds. (*)
http://onlinejournalismblog.com/2009/07/02/bbc-free-help-us-persuade-the-bbc-to-open-their-rss-feeds-up/ There's a tool presented by a commenter that will take a partial feed, scrape the content articles it refers to, and provide a full feed. I'm surprised how strongly I feel about this: such services must be opt-in for each author. What do others think? This has certain similarities to the "positive pirate" approach here. I think that BroaderSheet should be paying to license content.
