You use the word steal, but it isn't theft. Also, you say that when a blogger offers an rss feed, he means he only wants people to use it in their readers. This isn't true. To get backlinks professional bloggers - myself included - actually want people to syndicate their posts. If a blog doesn't want their feed syndicated, surely the only reasonable way to state this is in their TOS because, as mentioned, the "ability" to syndicate implies logical consent.
