Protecting your RSS feed with a copyright notice

It looks like more and more bloggers are worrying about content theft. As RSS becomes more mainstream and a valuable metric this is making RSS news feeds a more visible target for lazy webmasters.

Here are a few example to give you some ideas.

I have recently added a copyright notice to the feed for Newsniche. Included in the notice I have added a link back to the site and a link to the RSS feed.
