There's a reason this is a coordinated effort. No single newspaper would want to lose the incoming traffic from Google News, people would just go read from their competitors article. If they all act together, then A.P. thinks they might get some money out of Google. But these are the internets baby, if you will not let Google index it, someone else will. The reason these newspapers aren't going after, say Drudgereport, is that they figure they can get some money out of Google. Fair use or not, why is Google rich and not the papers? I'm having a hard time resisting the schadenfreude.
