There seems to be some confusion on the intentions of this project I apologize for not being clear. Thanks for raising these issues. They help clear ambiguities as well as implementation problems (copyrights or changing websites).

1. Khabar itself is not a crawler or an aggregator. Given a website with certain content it parses it for data you could use for whatever reason. It separates article specific content from things like page headers, menus, etc. What you do with the data is up to you, in accordance with the site's usage license. You could use Khabar to read pages found by a crawler or aggregator.
2. In most cases downloading this content for personal use is fair. It is really no different from Finance::Quote.
3. Dealing with page structure changes is up to the person who writes the parser. Good idea; perhaps it should be suggested that they write test to ensure the parser/format is still valid. I like the XML idea, but it's perhaps too much for the first version.
4. I suggest that the parsers return any advertisements they can read from the page as part of fair use. The person using the data can decide what to do with it. In general, the more details you can accurately parse out, the better.

Keep it coming ...
