The Fair Syndication Consortium has released a set of guidelines outlining the organization's position on intellectual piracy. The Content Syndication & Management Guidelines 0.9, so called because they aren't yet complete, are meant to be a conversation-starter on topics of digital copyright and syndication. The guidelines summarize the consortiums thoughts as a starting point for a broader discussion of content syndication and also propose solutions that should benefit publishers, syndicators, aggregators, and consumers of content.
