Unless, of course, they're storing the information obtained from the RSS 
feed (i.e. keeping URI's/descriptions/... in a file or database on the 
Boxee system) or similar--which could well be a violation of the RSS 
feed's ToS (and/or direct violation of copyright, depending on what's 
stored).

So, has anyone ever seen the ToS for the RSS feed?  I can't find it, but 
would love to have a link.  And, to get Hulu RSS support into Myth, we'd 
definitely need to see the terms or have some explicit approval, so if 
you have a link, please let us know.

Mike
