eisely 13 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 AP has been floundering around trying to find ways to charge for its content. I understand that now if you quote more than four words from an AP story they will come afer you. So I have quoted from a story run this morning regarding the resignation of Mel Martinez from the United States Senate: "...in...to...to...in...." Wasn't that helpful?

shortridge 184 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Some more discussion of the topic here: http://tinyurl.com/5fj2rg This really comes down to the concept of "fair use" - look for it to head through the courts. In my opinion, the AP's proposal as I understand it is asinine. And that's coming from a professional journalist. Link to post Share on other sites
