AP Files 7 DMCA Takedowns Against Drudge Retort

Posted by kdawson on from the not-getting-this-whole-blogging-thing dept.

mytrip points out a blog posting by Rogers Cadenhead, author of the Drudge Retort blog, who says: "I'm currently engaged in a 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.

    "Is the search function really so hard to use?"

    Yeah because Slashdot's search function is second only to Google.
