skaterdav85 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I created a fan site for a band i like using several web services. I found other fan sites that publish news frequently and they have RSS feeds. Is it legal to ###### in the contents of RSS feeds from other sites using cURL or file_get_contents() and display them on my own, which is essentially what i do with the web services except these are RSS feeds? Basically my site would be an RSS reader of these other fan sites but with some extra stuff of my own. Or do i need to ask for permission to read these RSS feeds?

justsomeguy Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 It depends on the copyright notices they have, if any, but you should at least provide attribution to the sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybrid kill3r Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 If they have a link to their own RSS feeds, then you're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterdav85 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 i was planning on attributing each site for each news item from the RSS feed. I just wasn't sure if this was legal. I guess I can just ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
