AP shoots itself in the foot

Seriously. What the bloody fuck are they thinking?

Here's one reaction to what will either be a huge embarrassment in a few months, or the next big battle with the "old guard" over who "owns" what.

Info is free. Journalists are supposed to disseminate info because so few others will. Anything else is just business. Journalism isn't supposed to be just business. It's supposed to be a pillar of society.

Edit (6 PM): Just found this fully AP compliant story at BoingBoing Gadgets.
