They went after FR quite a while ago. As a result, posting AP articles isn’t permitted.

Actually, this violates the “fair use” laws, but I don’t blame Jim Robinson for not wanting to get involved with more lawsuits.

[crazyhorse691]

How long before DUer’s and DKer’s start posting AP garbage here just to bring out AP’s lawyers?

Here we go again.

I guess they are just trying to protect their sources. ;-)
