A TECHcrunch Image
I posted a story earlier regarding the new un-biased reporting of the Associated Press (AP). While doing some more research on this matter, I ran across a site that reminded me of AP’s recent blowup regarding what equates to “fair use” of their material.
AP would rather online bloggers wouldn’t quote their work. As a matter of fact, they’re trying to rewrite common law regarding fair use… to their advantage, of course.
I, like many other bloggers, am very resolute in that I refuse to quote the AP any longer. If they prefer to get along without our “word of mouth” advantage, an advantage many other news sources enjoy having, then that is perfectly fine by me.
