Print kiosks where customers can print out a customized "newspaper" with a customized subset of news articles scraped from the web

So how many customers do you have?
I can't tell if you are serious or joking. How can you simply scrape someone's content and sell it? It would be copyright violation.
Why are you assuming there is no deal in place here?
Who's talking about selling it?
It'd be a copyright violation even if you gave them away, at least in many countries.
This could be kind of neat, especially for older people that are less familiar with computers, but still want to stay informed. Let them select their interests, and deliver a customized newspaper.
That's actually an incredibly cool idea... I would definitely read that newspaper.
