Actually, I highly doubt it. Newspapers do not release all their articles as RSS for a reason.

Do not get me wrong, I hate the fact that so many spam blogs are out there, its useless crap. But what I can absolutely not accept is people complaining about others using their full articles from RSS feeds since there is such an EASY and LOGICAL way to solve it. Stop syndicating ALL of the article! Syndicate only a part of it. It helps everyone! The spam blogs do not lose any traffic, they nolonger do something you hate, but _YOU_ actually GAIN traffic by people wanting to read the full article!

If you do not want people syndicating your content then do not friggin offer it for syndication!
