AP object to GOOGLE taking their stuff for free and making money out of it. And why shouldn't they object? If you are with Google on this, please can you send me your salary as I'd like to do a google and live off someone else's work without paying them.

AP will soon find out just how irrelevant they really are as the "news aggregaters" find alternative sources for their content. More often than not AP redistributes content from their member news organizations; that content will presumably still be generated. The search engines will still find it. <em>Chris Wysocki's last blog post..<a href='http://wyblog.us/blog/vt-rejects-god.html' rel="nofollow">Vermont turns its back on God</a></em> From the early days of the Internet it has been known that the net routes around blockages and failure.

While it is clear that the AP does provide a fair amount of content, for all intents and purposes, they're really a news aggregator, of sorts. While they certainly provide a valuable service, the Internet has changed the way models such as theirs work. Newspapers are falling off (Rocky Mountain News, Seattle P.I. anyone?) and wire services are in grave danger of facing a similar fate. It is not time to fight back (didn't work for the RIAA) it's time to adapt. <em>Devin Davis's last blog post..<a href='http://www.g5searchmarketing.com/blog/?p=177' rel="nofollow">Flutter - Twitter for when you’re too busy for 140 characters</a></em> A fair point.
