The AP has decided that they don’t like blog links and increased traffic — thus charging blogs $2.50 per word to quote or excerpt their articles.
OK.
The easy answer? I just won’t be quoting or linking any AP articles. At all.
But I like Michelle Malkin’s idea even better — charging the AP back for using blog material: “Hey, Associated Press: You owe me at least $132,125!”
Got something you want to say?

You got that right! Just like newspapers in general, the Associated Press refuses to change with the times.
