Excerpt

The AP recently sent a letter to WTNQ-FM in Tennessee--an affiliate of the Associated Press, by the way--accusing the country music radio station of copyright violation for embedding videos from the AP's official YouTube channel on its Web site, according to a station employee's blog. The AP channel includes embed code for its videos, which allows any Web site or blog to embed the videos on their sites--a feature that can be turned off.

The Associated Press is watching its once vast print market go belly up, one newspaper at a time. Many of the papers that haven't folded are having trouble paying AP and other wire services. Also, the bulk of AP’s news is extracted daily from the pages of its dwindling newspaper members. An opportunity is opening up for somebody like Newscorp to replace AP and take the news wire service concept into the digital age. FOX News already offers a subscription broadcast news service.
