   You are publishing a full post RRS feed, so it's not really stealing, it syndicating. You may want to put publish a summary teaser only. In Feedburner, go to Optimize> Summary Burner. You may also want to add a Creative Commons Copyright logo on top of your feed. Go to Publicize > Creative Commons.

      kopidunia, if copyright is held on those posts, it is infringement. Just because material is syndicated does not mean you have the right to republish it.

   Considering the number of uncredited and unattributed professional photos in dzrbenson.com/blog/2008/01/18/sexiest-female-athletes-of-today/ alone you may not be in the best position to cry foul.

   This is why I tell folks to use a truncated RSS feed. I even add my copyright notice to it, so if it does get stolen it's obvious.

      No, embedding a YouTube video is not considered stealing. Why don't you go read a TOS and then you won't be so easily fed up about it. :/
