The AP is pissed because Reddit, Digg, Google, and others (Hacker News?) are using AP content every day... usually with full attribution and links back to the article. Let me put that another way - some of the most popular sites on the internet send millions of pageviews to the AP every day.
That's a traffic situation that most sites would love to be in - but the AP can't figure out how to make money from those eyeballs? So they're going to try to stop the influx of traffic, so that... what? Their content can wither and die in peace? Talk about cutting yourself out of the equation.
