I would like to know whether these free SMS alert sites such as My Today SMS, Alertix pay for the sites such as religate, oneindia.in e.t.c, Or they just mention in their website that this service powered by Oneindia.

What I would like to know is whether these people pay any royalty/monthly/annual fee for these religate/oneindia, by which I also mean:

Are there any legal issues attached to extracting data from the RSS feeds these websites provide for services like free SMS alerts?
