AP Proposes ASCAP-Like Fees For the News

eldavojohn writes "Techdirt directed my attention to an article where the AP discussed pressure from new devices and mediums today giving them cause to create a clearinghouse for news — much like the music industry's ASCAP — to 'establish an enforcement and payment system.' You'll notice that the story I am linking to and quoting is an AP story ... would Slashdot then be required to pay these fees? We have seen DMCA take down notices and fee discussions before from the AP."

Glaring fact omission, editorializing, and every story has a major liberal slant to it.

"Reality has a well-known liberal bias."
