Accounting for aggregated views

[Dimitri Glazkov <dimitri.glazkov@gmail.com>]

Imagine a portal application, which uses RSS to aggregate information
from various Internet sources. Obviously, in order to improve
performance, the application only reads the source of syndication once
in a specified interval and then delivers the cached data by request
to the portal users.

If I am an owner of the content that is syndicated in this way, my
statistics will look rather skewed -- I can only see one hit every so
often, and the fact that my content is viewed somewhere else by
multiple viewers is completely hidden from me. Sounds mighty unfair,
doesn't it? Almost like bootlegging.

Are there any efforts to correct this injustice? Any methods? Ideas?
