TNW: So are there legal reuses of RSS feed material?

Sunstein: No. Well, the longer answer is, yeah, maybe. It gets to be possible, but a lot of people put content on the Internet and expect it to be protected by copyright. You don't need notice of copyright. You haven't since Jan. 1, 1978. If you publish without a notice, it doesn't mean stuff isn't protected. If I put my stuff on the Internet without notice, I can still sue if someone redistributes my RSS feed.
