This has been up for awhile over at the Associated Press site, but I think most folk are either ignorant of this fee schedule, or they're just blatantly ignoring it.
Me, I think it's stupid. AP wants you to pay for ANY excerpt of any of their content that you use on your blog. That's right. Quote as little as FIVE (5) words, and AP wants you to pay them $12.50.
Are we being punked? No. Apparently the AP is serious. Stupid, but serious.
And rather than rant, I refer you to the article written by Derek Bambauer for the Harvard University blog, Info/Law.
They are so ... well, polite. They call it "overreaching."
Stupid, overreaching. Po-tay-to, Po-tah-to.
