How (and why) to replace the AP
The Associated Press is becoming the enemy of the internet because it is fighting the link and the link is the basis of the internet. From Richard Perez-Pena’s New York Times story today : Tom Curley, The A.P.’s president and chief executive, said the company’s position was that even minimal use of a news article online required a licensing agreement with the news organization that produced it. In an interview, he specifically cited references that include a headline and a link to an article, a standard practice of search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo, news aggregators and blogs.

A few weeks ago, I scored what passes these days for one of journalism's biggest coups, satisfying a holy writ for newspaper impact in the Internet age. Gawker, the snarky New York culture and media Web site, had just blogged about my story in that day's Washington Post.

We'd better hope it's not "hot news" that the Associated Press announced "an aggressive effort to track down copyright violators on the Internet" at its annual board meeting Monday. If it is, we could conceivably find ourselves on the wrong end of an "aggressive effort" geared to fend off copycat competition and "misappropriation" in the dwindling market for timely reporting. One could be forgiven for thinking it's not news at all, given AP's already fierce defense of its content, ranging from much-mocked threats to sue bloggers over brief quotations to tussles with news aggregators to the heavily publicized court battle with artist Shepard Fairey over an iconic image of Barack Obama.

Or put all your stuff behind a pay wall where the links won’t pay off. Where are you then? Without discovery.The imperatives of the link economy

In recent months, news aggregators like the Huffington Post have received heated criticism from some who believe they’re stealing valuable traffic and ad revenue from newspapers. Appeals court Judge Richard Posner recently wrote a widely-linked post arguing that copyright law should be changed in order to bar linking to websites and paraphrasing their content.How do you read the newspaper?
