Could loading a feed into an RSS reader be grounds for legal action? » Nieman Journalism Lab
While the fact that Pulse comes pre-populated with the Times’ RSS feed (arguably) makes a difference to the legal analysis, it does little to change people’s gut reaction. As many commentators have noted, the Internet is built around the concept of linking to and reusing content that appears elsewhere. As TechCrunch notes, "[Pulse is] using the NY Times official RSS feed, because the NY Times put it out there. For the NY Times to then complain about it doing so is bizarre." This is the same argument that supporters of Google News and other news aggregators use: if you don’t want it to be copied, don’t put it on the Internet. And if you put it on the Internet, expect it to be copied (unless you hide it behind a paywall). | source : www.niemanlab.org

NewsNow Scraps Links To Newspapers Rather Than Pay Them For The Privilege | paidContent:UK
NewsNow, one of the aggregators that has yet to sign the Newspaper Licensing Agency‘s tougher new content-sharing license, has removed all links to stories by agency members from its paid subscription service, thereby avoiding both paying the 7.5p-a-link commanded by the NLA and the legal action it had threatened against non-compliant aggregators. | source : paidcontent.co.uk

Of Twitter, Plagiarism and Online Journalism
The Courant and its parent company (Tribune) claimed the paper could act as a Connecticut news aggregator by republishing local stories on its Web site without seeking permission, Weinstein says. The company then changed its justification slightly, and this is where the online journalist in us gets riled up. According to the AP, "Tribune has defended the online aggregation process, calling it legitimate and acceptable as long it is not carried over to the print product." | source : amlawdaily.typepad.com

The Associated Press: AP, News Corp bosses tell search engines to pay up
"Crowd-sourcing Web services such as Wikipedia, YouTube and Facebook have become preferred customer destinations for breaking news, displacing Web sites of traditional news publishers," Curley said. "We content creators must quickly and decisively act to take back control of our content." He said content aggregators, such as search engines and bloggers, were also directing audiences and revenue away from content creators. "We will no longer tolerate the disconnect between people who devote themselves — at great human and economic cost — to gathering news of public interest and those who profit from it without supporting it," Curley said. | source : www.google.com
