Good luck with that.
Their articles just won’t be cited, linked or shared.

Hilarious.

"Well, I don't like it."
"Okay, then I'm going to charge you for it."

The goal, he said, was not to have less use of the news articles, but to be paid for any use.

No, that's just a rather nasty side effect.

THE REAL DEAL:

AP does not want FReepers, bloggers, and posters
to reveal they are nothing but liars. Liars. Liars.

It wants the 1,400 American newspapers that own the company to join the effort and use its software.

I don't like the sound of this...

Most of what they write is synthesized propaganda, loaded with weasel words and designed for idiots. They are the first order of communist boot lickers.

Those are their good points.

I run a small website locally that aggregates news articles from all over. I have been threatened with a lawsuit twice by the local AP outlet, on the grounds that my website constitutes “unfair competition”. They have threatened my twice and backed down both times.

I think if the local newspapers decided to try this hardline attitude that the AP is taking, it will be the final nail in the coffin for many if not most of them.

Following the RIAA strategy of “sue your fans.” With similar success, most likely.

The AP’s sh*t is the worst propaganda out there. the sooner they die - the better. Ditto NY Slimes, CNN and MSNBC which are also among the most biased Obama propaganda posing as news.

Like they have anything note worthy to say. NOT

I don’t read them anyway so I don’t think I will miss them.

The Associated Press said Thursday that it would add software to each article...

I've spent over 40 years in the software field and have no idea how to add software to an article. :-)
