United Media: reading our RSS feed violates our copyright

"Comics for Media Center" is a plugin for Microsoft's Media Center PC that pulls the RSS feed of United Syndicate's comics (Dilbert, etc) and displays them in the version of Internet Explorer that comes with a Media Center PC. In a moment of mindboggling, unreasonable blinkered pig-ignorance, United Syndicate has decided that this somehow constitutes an infringement of its copyright — that's right, reading an RSS feed of their stuff, using Internet Explorer, violates their copyright. They've nastygrammed the creator of Comics for Media Center and he's shut his project down.
