[0]mytrip points out a blog posting by Rogers Cadenhead, author of the
Drudge Retort blog, who says: “I’m currently engaged in a [1]legal
disagreement with the Associated Press, which claims that Drudge Retort
users linking to its stories are violating its copyright and committing
‘hot news’ misappropriation under New York state law.” An AP attorney
filed six Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown requests this week
demanding the removal of blog entries and another for a user comment. The
AP material they object to consists of snippets of from 33 to 79 words.
Cadenhead claims his lawyer believes that all fall squarely within the
province of fair use.
