Ultimately, its about permission. Judging by his actions, the feed/content/copyright owner doesn't want his feed published on your blog. Pull it.

There are FAIR USE exemptions to copyright law but you have to be very specific and actually put in more labor than just pulling feeds and publishing them verbatim. If you need CUSTOMIZED HELP to make you COMPLY with Fair Use exemptions, contact me for details.
