This story sheds some heat but little light on the situation it discusses, i.e. the permissible and desirable scope of the legal doctrine of "fair use". The doctrine was developed in an effort to balance the rights of copyright holders versus the equally compelling (if not more compelling) right of the people to get full and accurate information. This article basically puts forth the copyright-holders' view without providing any reasoning to back up its conclusion that the use being complained of by AP was not "fair use". I beg to differ (I am legally-trained and have dealt with this issue) and believe that ultimately the bloggers will be vindicated. NOT RECOMMENDED
