There are some people who have specifically given you a license to use their content via use of a Creative Commons license.

Since this site owner didn't spell out how her/his content could be used (I assume), then he doesn't want you to use his feed for republication. You could argue "fair use" but if you are taking his feed and adding nothing to the conversation, I'd think you would lose.

Why don't you just remove his content? If he gets wise he is going to put up a license which forbids this type of re-use. It is similar to free weekly newspapers in the United States. You could take all of the newspapers out of the rack if you wanted, but many of them grant you a license to take one and you would have to subscribe to take more; this is posted on a sticker on many newsracks.
