Right. Personal use is okay. Educational use is okay. Commercial use is not.
The proper way to do these things is to pay royalties to the content provider.
In the future, I hope to have an infrastructure that allows people to
republish copyrighted content for a fee, which then gets passed on to the
content provider.
Generally, people aren't concerned about headlines. They are concerned about
content like articles and images. News Clipper is like a copy machine or a
VCR: you can use it to violate copyright, but it is not expressly built for
that. Having said that, the faster I can get the royalties infrastructure set
up the better. ;)
