IAR: Google Moves to Block RSS Scraping

Google ordered Julian Bond to stop hosting a service that converts Google News searches to syndicated news feeds in RSS. Although the content for Google News is created by scraping stories from news sites, Google's terms of service prevent users from scraping those headlines from Google.

In a letter from Google posted by Bond to a syndication mailing list, Google's lawyers suggested that people interested in monitoring Google News do so using their News Alerts email service.
