both services have in their contract a "republish" clause on all of their clients' content. with The AP, it means a little more, as The AP is a cooperative owned by the newspapers and broadcasters itself (broadcasters are a subclass of ownership.)
any local stories you have on AP and UPI come from local news outlets, unless there is major statewide interest. the wire services have already been stripped down heavily, and fee cuts The AP will be making for the 2009 and 2010 years, as reported, mean the service has to cut its size AGAIN, by about a third.
and since 90-plus percent of their income comes from local outfits' budgets, you can see the fallacy of the argument by phorest.
As the locals go bust, the whole infrastructure is going to go down with them.
they were heavily taken by "cold fusion researchers," a canard in three dimensions if ever I heard one, 20 years back. perhaps they occupy the same place in scientific literature as S&P and Moody's does in careful review of bonding and finance? down Illinois' way, they call it "pay to play."
you can thank Patron Saint Orrin Hatch for this

it was our good ol' boy Hatch who called in chits to get a law passed that puts the not-medicine hawkers beyond the reach of scientific proof and tests for safety and efficacy of their nostrums.
that is Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organization, for those living outside the US. they act like gangsters, and are now, finally, being sued like gangsters.
Apple has business successors. whether they have an upcoming visionary has not been released. you can bet that person would be targeted for hire by every company under the sun if his/her name WAS released.
ballmer is not doing it. yang can't broker it. nobody's got $20 billion in cash that isn't piled under the mattress and has some curious brown stains on top of the bag.
same thing with any other media. these guys can keep their content availiable 24/7/365/endless for the cost of two sales a month. if they don't want to, then AFAIAC they have abandoned the work, do what you want.
oh, frickin' great, a wireowners association.

some bunch of crabby little old twits meet at 3 am in a crack house to set new rules, with no announcement, and you get screwed.
only the screenshots from sign-up pages are alphabetically organized and in a 3-ring binder. not on the monitor. that is customarily reserved, of course, for root.
remember the "bailout?" more like a handout to old buddies from the club for King Henry. a yo-ho-ho and a tip of the hat when they put a cluster of about 10 circles in New York.
take out everything from baby monitors to ham radio to public service radio. this idea needs to die, hard, forever, period. you can kick 48 ports of DSL into a rural area for $2500 plus 1 to 8 T1 lines of trunkage from several equipment vendors. if you have DLC phone service in the area, you replace the control card and the line cards you want DSL on, and run some trunks out, and it's done. no DSL in rural areas is a cop-out. cost less to provide it than it does to send lawyers to a PUC hearing.
they're going the way of Pets.Com -- eventually anybody who wants a piece of them can get the right one for pennies a pound at the bankruptcy court. why pay more?
but you know it means they're doing something else now.
I suspect it's how Sarah Palin jokes are strung together that is the new medium. they're ubiquitous and cannot be stopped by any force known to mankind.

and here's one more example.

the only one of the telcos, in fact, that is pleased to do so. better to get SOME money than NO money.
so they claimed to read his brain.

these RIAA guys have been acting like burglars on crack for a long time, and now they have to defend themselves.
are licensed, the rest are, ahem, Peoples' Copies.
and 500 screens showing "allow or deny?"
and $3 Million if you also bring along the exploit code, so we know what got past.
and if the links go to EvilLand, send the deposit back, and notify SpamHaus and the other badware trackers.
