Associated Press plays grinch.
The Associated Press, a cooperative owned by 1,500 daily newspapers, took a surprisingly new position against bloggers who very often quote chunks of its articles in an effort to spark discussions. So last week it sent a letter to the Drudge Retort asking it to remove some items that contained quotations from AP articles.
We all know that newspapers circulations and advertisements are down, but I think the AP went a little too far in this case. What is next ?
The AP telling its members that their readers cannot share a newspaper at the office or at home ?
