Its probably not malicious in this case since they aren't re-publishing the whole feed. Call me bitter, but one of my newer websites once ended up in a nofollow RSS directory that did publish everything and in Google's infinite wisdom they decided that the established directory was the original and I was merely copying them.

I don't follow the nofollow wars all that much, so it didn't occur to
me to take a look. I can't say whether their move is ill-intended or
just a business rule. It is curious to see what RSSMicro intends to do
with all their data, given what I can only guess is very small market
penetration.

Wow, another nofollow aggregator. How do they get away with this? Call me cynical or greedy or whatever, but I don't think websites that rely on others' domains to populate their content should be going around telling the search engines to ignore the original source.
