As already noted, ripping off syndicated content for commerical purposes without RSS publisher consent is becoming an increasing problem in the RSS world.

Jason Calacanis, one of the largest blog (and consequently RSS) publishers just added his thoughts, giving us the publishing perspective of the problem.

Certainly one of the problems is that right now there are no established best practices to govern the republishing of RSS syndicated content. It’s about time to make them.

I’m calling out to all RSS publishers to put down your comments (below) on what are acceptable republishing practices as far as you are concerned. In the end, we can take these and come to some sort of consensus on what constitutes best practices and guidelines for everyone.

If you decide to participate, please evade terms such as “non-commercial use”, but be concrete in what you allow and what you do not allow.

Thank you.
