As the maker of an aggregator I think its incredibly important to
treat other people's content with the utmost respect.
I believe advertising in this realm is a tricky beast and I look
forward to some innovative approaches, but i don't think its kosher to
"monetize" content that you don't have explicit rights to. That's just
my 2 cents.
