Ask HN: Do RSS feed readers violate copyright (in 2022)?

1 pointsby node-bayareaover 2 years ago
I&#x27;m building an RSS feed reader w&#x2F; Ads. One concern I have is to ensure that I dont violate any copyright laws. I googled a lot but I dont have a clear answer one way or the other.<p>Also, somewhat related, I believe LinkedIn lost the website scraping lawsuit. Does that mean we can now scrape all we want and I&#x27;m wondering if RSS feed reader fall into this category?<p>Appreciate any help in this regard! Thank you!

The whole point of RSS feeds is to be read. You shouldn&#x27;t republish feeds on the public Web though.
