Say No to Associated Press
Thanks to Gary Kim for pointing this out. I don't pay a lot of attention to Associated Press and would surely have missed it.
Just Say "No" to Associated Press
The Associated Press wants to charge you $12.50 to quote five words from news stories published by the news agency. Michael Arrington says TechCrunch simply won't link to, or quote AP.
Of course, you can go their Web site and pay them. On this score, I agree with Michael. Just say "no." I prefer Reuters in any case.
Like Gary, I rely much more heavily on Reuters and other news sources. This post brought to mind the reality that I need to actively ignore AP as a news source lest I accidentally incur their wrath.
