I think blogoshere is way off on the wrong direction. RSS feeds are copyrighted matterial. It doesn’t matter what the “customary definition” of RSS is. Schwimmer might be a dofus, but from a legal perspective he probably has a point. I’m waiting for more IP lawyers to chime in here. Where is Lessig?

Perhaps the difference is that Martin *chose* to publish a *stripped* version of his own site in a format that includes the word *syndication*?

There is a usual and customary definition of RSS. To pretend otherwise is disingenuous. If you don’t want your site syndicated, don’t publish in a syndication format.
