I'm pretty ambivalent about downloading. Technically, it is an infringement of copyright, but I suppose walking to your neighbor's house is technically trespassing until you are explicitly given permission. In neither case is any measurable harm rendered. It's about like someone playing you music over the phone, only better quality. I imagine electronics stores that show movies or broadcasts on their display model televisions are technically in violation, too, but so what?

I forgot to add:

If you think FR is essentially stealing news content, then why do you come here and read articles? By viewing the page you are downloading information you didn't pay for, and creating a digital copy that is unauthorized by the creator of the material.
