Look a lot closer to home. My website knowfirst.info has been threatened by News Limited in the past few weeks, despite the fact we only posted 3 paras and linked to their full stories, and have done so for 4 years without previous complaint. Fairfax has done it with a large AFL site in Australia as well, and I've been told Reuters is also doing it. Bloody sad but what do you expect from these places? it’s not just AP fellas.
