I'm just wondering aloud here...

When you do a news fetch with Calibre, I assume it's going to (say) the Time magazine site and gathering up all the freely available stories and putting them together in a nice package to put on the reader. Is that right?

I enjoy it, and yet I've wondered whether that isn't potentially a copyright violation. The software is, after all, gathering and reformatting and distributing copyrighted material.

Again, I'm just wondering aloud, but...

I've noticed that all the magazines I subscribe to are getting thinner and thinner as advertising dries up. I presume the online editions of all publications are paid for by online ads. Which are omitted when we get these nice compilations in Calibre.

And so I ask myself...are we helping to kill the golden goose here?

I'd be delighted if someone could tell me that I'm missing something important in the equation.
