Comments on: Will the Associated Press end up the RIAA of the blog world? Another rotten example for e-publishers? http://www.teleread.com/copy-right/will-the-associated-press-end-up-the-riaa-of-the-blog-world-another-rotten-example-for-e-publishers/ News & views on e-books, libraries, publishing and related topics Wed, 15 Feb 2012 23:28:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Keith Matty http://www.teleread.com/copy-right/will-the-associated-press-end-up-the-riaa-of-the-blog-world-another-rotten-example-for-e-publishers/comment-page-1/#comment-394753 Keith Matty Sun, 03 Jun 2007 06:42:20 +0000 http://www.teleread.org/blog/?p=6640#comment-394753 I can't imagine any smart publisher would follow the same flawed strategy as the RIAA. It seems to me that having visibility of content re-use is a good thing, not only to target the ad sense blogs as Robert mentions, but also just to gain intelligence on which content spreads where. Also interesting to note that the AP is talking more about Attributor as a means to learn and increasing their licensing revenue. Two articles that you may not have seen: http://blogs.business2.com/business2blog/2007/05/startup_watch_a.html http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003592021 Regardless, you are right that things are going to get more interesting - hopefully this tool will be used responsibly.

If AP confines its efforts to the automated blogs, I'll actually cheer the wire services guys on. - David May you be right, Robert!

I suspect human-produced sites like teleread will be generally safe no matter how liberally they quote. I could be wrong though.
