Google News (which scrapes) nastygrams Julian Bond (for scraping)

Google News -- which scrapes news-sites and aggregates the results -- has sent a note demanding that Julian Bond stop scraping and aggregating the results.

I figure that using Gnews2rss[1] to feed into a personal aggregator is not going to worry them too much. The problem seems to be posting the results to a public website. If you do use gnews2rss, please host it yourself.
