A feed reader is like a TiVo someone uses to backup shows from the cable television service they have license to use, so that they can personally watch those shows. A content aggregation service is like someone ripping shows and then uploading them to a public website surrounded by revenue generating ads. The difference is pretty clear from a copyright apologists standpoint. Personally I don't see a moral problem with either of these, since neither scenario deprives the author of their data/content. No theft has taken place. I don't believe in copyright. But I suspect you, like most people, do.
