IMHO, it's ok to agregate the news as a lot of news site does that. but pure scrapers without linkbank is the pain in the ass, somebody should contact the website operator and notify them about this. Scrapers site discouraged original contributor from publishing full newsfeed which makes reading from feedreader/newsreader not fun at all <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Mar 6, 2010 at 9:45 AM, Nicholas Ng <<a href="mailto:nbliang@gmail.com">nbliang@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi, Someone in the mainstream Ubuntu Contacts mailing list has complaint about this.
