Wait wait wait, this is a sensationalist headline. The submitter obviously picked an AP story to frame them as evil.
iCopyright is the company that provides this Fair Use-violating service and here are some of their clients http://info.icopyright.com/conductor.asp http://info.icopyright.com/conductor.asp

- mcantelon 17y agoBecause a company is a client of iCopyright doesn't necessarily mean they're using the same product/service as AP or employing the same pricing model. iCopyright, like most companies, likely provides more than one product/service.
- omouse 17y agoIf you read the page, you could see that all of them are using the same set of products/services, namely iCopyright Conductor which is the reprint/DRM bullshit. Don't just tar & feather AP, tar & feather the whole bunch that are clients of this company!
- mcantelon 17y agoI think the pricing is more of an issue than the tech. If AP were asking for 12 cents rather than $12.50 for 5 words the reaction might be different. What are the pricing models of these other companies that you suggest are equally at fault?
