Look for any old Blog post, take a 5-10 word quote out of it, and then search it in Google with "ap" and eventually, we'll find something that predates them. Hence, they must have plagiarized, and legally responsible. Even better, they couldn't rest on the "Gee, I didn't know" defense. Heck, let’s apply the standard in reverse.

I am starting to come around to the view that the AP is sorta like other middlemen that got disintermediated by the Internet, at least from a reader's perspective. I don't really need the AP to supply my local paper with news from other places anymore. I have Google News or other aggregation services to pick the best of the best from all over. If I need to know what's up in Kalamazoo, I just click on the <a href="http://www.mlive.com/kzgazette/" rel="nofollow">Kalamazoo Gazette</a>. Best headline anyone has put on a post about this story!
