Hey, that's the spirit!  Tell someone that's providing free content 
to p*ss off!  It's their content and they're interested in having 
some say in how it's distributed, what's wrong with that?

Such is your choice but you'd miss a ton of news besides just 
moreover, newsisfree comes to mind...

Syndic8 does not have feeds.  Syndic8 has a list of feeds.  There's a 
difference.  Feeds contain items with content.  Syndic8 is just a 
pointer to them.  What moreover (and others; meerkat, nif) provide is 
aggregation of items into new feeds.  Moreover has both synthetic and 
human aggregated feeds.  Some are more useful than others but they've 
got a great range of choices.

My point is why bother to complain about how a content aggregator 
wants to control the distribution?  If you don't like what they're 
asking you're certainly free to not consume the material.  

Now, there is a good question as to whether you'd allow your OWN 
content to be handled by an aggregator.  Good luck enforcing that!

Maybe we need to put more effort into just getting the content 
consumed?  We should be so lucky as to have it become so popular 
everyone wants to steal it...
