Which one is more important? Scoble brings lots of attention and can drive a lot of traffic from new interested people to your website who may come back for more if you have something intelligent to say. Scraper sites *get no traffic* and tend to disappear quickly causing little real damage. Meanwhile, partial feeds treat *all* your readers like criminals, rather than recognizing it's just a few bad parties who are unlikely to cause any real problems. Seems like full text feeds make a lot more sense to me, based on your own question. :) Hmm. Which one is more important?
