Was perusing some poker blogs the other day, and I ran across a few interesting sites:
www.pocketbombs.com
www.youwannapoker.com
www.eyesonpoker.com
www.jacknoir.com
Hmm, hey…wait an minute…what the f…?
As it turns out, these sites use RSS feeds to post the latest poker blog entries from a few selected sites in their entirety, and (at least with respect to pokerati) do so without permission. What\’s worse, they appear to be at least attempting to turn a profit on them.
Admittedly, I know very little about the interworkings of internet technology, and to be sure, I understand that RSS is generally a very positive thing. Bu this strikes me as thievery, plain and simple. Am I wrong? Or maybe we just need to adopt something similar to CNN\’s terms of use with respect to RSS?
