Why are best practices needed?
There have been a series of incidents in which the work of
independent videobloggers, video podcasters and other creators of
video works have had their content appropriated without credit by
third parties. This is usually done via RSS, a technology that has
led to intense value creation on the Web by making applications like
podcasting possible, but acts as a double-edged sword in that it
makes "page scraping" and "splogging" easier.
page scraping - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_scraping
"...Screen scraping is a technique in which a computer program
extracts data from the display output of another program."
splogging - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splogging
"...artificially created weblog sites which the author uses to
promote affiliated websites or to increase the search engine
rankings..."
