Ironically, while demoing the iPhone last week, the AP showed off their new app that displays their content to iPhone users. There is a way for those users to capture/report directly from within the app on the iPhone giving AP free content (photos and text). I would imagine users submitting content to the AP also give away any rights to it.

Just tweeted and welcomed any comers to quote me, “The Associated Press can kiss my ass.”

I’ll quote whomever I want, whenever I want, so long as I give appropriate credit. I may just do a big AP quote story just to dare them to sue me. That’s complete and utter mismanagement of your brand, product and audience.

Nice job covering it C-Cop!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t other news sources quote AP? Meaning, a blogger can choose from any of these numerous other sites from which to quote; in turn, quoting AP vicariously.

Again, that was just my thought from reading this and not having known anything of the situation prior.

That’s not to say i agree with the AP’s actions, though.
