So, with that in place, I would never use their content except for their intended uses.

My entire point is that the original publisher needs to have a TOS or AUP in place - otherwise it's fair game.

It's common sense anyway! If you provide a feed, and have restrictions on use, why would you NOT let people know what those restrictions are?
Dude you are making the argument you WANT to hear. Unfortunately that isn't the law. Lucky for you most bloggers are broke and won't actually get you in court but you better believe they can if they want to. They would win.
