What I'm saying is that if we apply the principles of DMCA to this scenario, anyone can take AP's content and put it on their website. AP DMCA's them and they then must remove it.
To me, it appears that when a company like AP starts going after people infringing on their copyrighted material, it is THEN, that the laws will finally start skewing in the favor of the copyright holder rather than the way they are now.

I was talking to AP, more about them running out to sue people on crap they call news - which is simply copied from someone else anyway.
If you send a notice, the person must remove it... or you can sue them. No different for us or them, they just have a team of lawyers that they already pay to do this shit.
I think Google news and others have been sued over including others content without permission.. No idea how that ended, but I see google and yahoo are still here and I haven't heard of those news sources - so prob didn't go over so well for them
