Nice to see you around Bemmu! How is CandayJapan going? you still owe me a free shipment for endorsing you ;-) In seriousness though, this is excellent advice - have a taste of something that's just not local.

very nice use of piratepad.net so we can watch and contribute to the draft.

Don't know about Ireland, but in the UK you'd need to pay the NLA (newspaper licensing agency) if you want to use news content. And London is crawling (sorry ;) with media monitoring companies.

I can't tell if you are serious or joking. How can you simply scrape someone's content and sell it? It would be copyright violation.
