    good for them

    it's amazing how many web sites just post AP stuff, sometimes crediting, sometimes not, never paying a cent, probably never even thinking about it

    Excellent. This may only be symbolic and is probably too late to save the industry, but it's a good idea anyway.

    "We can no longer stand by and watch others walk off with our work under misguided legal theories," said Dean Singleton, the AP's chairman and the chief executive of newspaper publisher MediaNews Group Inc. "We are mad as hell, and we are not going to take it any more."
