Associated Press Says Get Lost Bloggers

The Associated Press is filing lawsuits against bloggers for quoting and/or linking to AP articles online. In short, the Associated Press doesn't want bloggers to link to them, quote them, look at them or even breathe in their general direction. How's that for an online marketing strategy?

Bloggers from the well-known Drudge Retort blog and social community are looking at "fair use" legal battles for using the Associated Press articles as sources.
