Ohjoy, you got that right. I’m thinking that some bloggers have gotten carried away with their excerpts, but it seems the vast majority are falling within the proper bounds. For the AP, they are straining at gnats, IMO.

Wow, that’s some immense b.s. In school you are taught how to properly cite a quote from an article (be it online or hardcopy). As long as that is done, there should be no legitimacy to AP’s take down notices. Granted, this s regarding quotes and not the issue of excerpts. Again, many people are hopefully taught no to quote large amounts of text as much as possible. If this is getting abused, the original author has every right to complain — especially as this can become more a complaint of plagiarism than infringement.
