Jim, I think you're playing a little fast and loose here. FeedBurner does, in fact, contain the tools I used to exploit your system. If your claim system had been a little more like Technorati (embed some code in your blog), as opposed to something like spoofing the title, I couldn't have done what I did. But you know, Feedburner's TOS at least state that you have to have the right to copy a feed before you can burn it. Yours don't. Your TOS are simply a disclaimer of liability if the system doesn't work. Feedburner doesn't attach advertising to my feed, with or without my permission. You do. Moreover, the machine readable license embedded in the feed is ignored by you. You trample on the rights I assert. When I wrote that I had stolen Mike Arrington's feed, what I really should have written was that I had stolen Mike Arrington's revenue from his feed, because that's what the FeedPass/Feedburner exploit allowed me to do. I think you're hearing pretty strongly that bloggers want you to help them protect their rights. I don't begrudge anybody the right to build a business, and want to see and encourage people to come up with new and creative businesses. The FeedPass concept (as it stands today) lacks the safeguards I would expect to be there -- that's all. Happy to give my feedback on future features and implementations as well. Good luck! A
