Sucks to hear. I assume you have talent.

Yeah, a lot of sponsor feeds really blow goats. They treat syndicated content like a TGP, and it's really frustrating how so many have a "we don't care" attitude about it.

I've been helping selected sponsors get their shit together in this department. I'll post about then more often when they've gotten things rolling.

For AEB's part of this, it "creates" human-readable content around these resources, so the quality of the input doesn't have as much to do with the quality of the output as it used to. The trick is finding a balance between "unique" and "plagarized." I'd never want to rip anyone off if they don't intend for their information to be free (from restrictions, not free as in free beer, of course).
