From the few posts that I looked at, I didn't see any commentary by the post author, nor did any of the posts appear to be a parody. So in what way is it fair use? Just because they don't reproduce the whole thing?</p><p>What if I started a newspaper (really made of paper) but didn't subscribe to AP. Instead I would publish the AP headline and the first 40 words of the article, then a link to the AP's site where they could read the whole thing. Would that be fair use? Is that what Retort is doing?</p><p>Legal questions aside, the AP should shut up and enjoy all the visitors they get.</p>Dick KusleikaFri, 13 Jun 2008 14:24:06 -0000
