Workaround for X-Frame-Options:deny or sameorgin?

I'm displaying web pages (from other domains) in an IFrame to have navigation at the side. However, some websites have the header X-Frame-Options:deny or X-Frame-Options:sameorigin, which prevents the pages from loading in my iframe. Is there a workaround to this? How would I display the web page?

I noticed that StumbleUpon has the same issue. Here's an example with the X-Frame-Options issue: http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/53D0nJ/news.yahoo.com/worlds-dumbest-idea-taxing-solar-energy-111300623.html/

No.

It would be entirely pointless for browser vendors to provide a way for websites to say Don't let third parties put my content in a frame if they also provided a way for third parties to tell browsers to ignore that instruction.

The closest you could come would be to copy their content so it is accessible via a URL on your own server. That approach would probably cause you to run afoul of international copyright law.
