My attitude is that there are enough full feed scrapers still to keep most of us busy for some time, going after the partial ones as anything other than a spam blog seems to be a waste to me.

Hopefully we can get to a point though where they are the greatest of our worries.

And in some instances from what I have seen, they include every single post. So they are essentially creating a "mirror" of the original source. Great article as always!
