"The Pulse News Reader app, makes commercial use of the NYTimes.com and Boston.com RSS feeds, in violation of their Terms of Use*."
So according to their lawyers you can view their RSS feed as long as you haven't purchased the viewer?
I think I just broke something in my brain.
- gscott 16y agoJust that many people fewer consuming NY Times content as the NY Times goes bankrupt with the rest of the newspaper industry.

The company producing the Pulse reader, however, is making commercial use of the NYT brand and content by featuring it prominently in the advertising material. So, as mentioned by others, the easiest solution seems to be to remove all NYT references (and other unlicensed brands) and resubmit.

- fondue 16y agoI can see an objection to that, but it's pretty clear the NYT lawyers don't understand that they are sharing their content freely on the internet via the RSS feed and there's no coinbox on the front-end to gate it. This reminds me of companies complaining about web sites not getting approval to link them.
