“The Pulse News Reader app, makes commercial use of the NYTimes.com and Boston.com RSS feeds, in violation of their Terms of Use. Thus, the use of our content is unlicensed. The app also frames the NYTimes.com and Boston.com websites in violation of their respective Terms of Use.”
Excuse my language but; what a crock full of shit.
The last line in particular is the kind of thing that makes me really mad about lawyer driven nonsense such as this. What, for example, is the browser if not a frame?
Ok, I can partially buy the first section because of the commercial aspect; but I still think it is a bit idiotic to insist things like that. I simply don't see how anyone benefits from such action?
- SkyMarshal 16y agoWas thinking the same thing. Unbelievable. And the 'frame' clearly even includes the ads in the NY Times website. Pulse is giving them both free content and free ad distribution, and they're bitching about $4. To paraphrase the creepy paperboy, "Four dollars! I want my four dollars!" Is that what the NY Times has come to? Unbelievable.
