AP Cracks Down

Bloggers beware. What you write may cost you.


The Associated Press has been in the, well, news lately for cracking down on a popular blog.

The AP recently filed seven take down requests against the Drudge Retort for copyright infringement. The letter asked the six blogs and one user comment entries be disable or removed "EXPEDITIOUSLY."

The blogs in question reportedly contained short excerpts containing up to 79 words. The situation is now resolved.

In order to cite text from the Associated Press, the following fees have been implemented, known as the Excerpt for Web Use Policy. Fees vary depending on use.

  • 5-25 words = $12.50
  • 26-50 words = $17.50
  • 51-100 words = $25.00
  • 101-250 words = $50.00
  • 251 words and up = $100.00
