It seems I am not the only one who is calling a halt to the business practices of some of these online businesses. Here is an article I was sent. 

Eight Austin-based real estate brokerages are taking a cue from their local Realtor association and will no longer send their listings to real estate portals not affiliated with a Realtor trade group.

Members would then be free to decide whether to syndicate their listings to third-party sites on their own.
