AP Harasses Own Member Over AP Youtube Videos 106
A reader writes "The Associated Press, who has been acting very bipolar lately about Google News (they get paid by Google for their content, and then complain about Google 'stealing' that content), has another issue with not knowing what their association is up to: they set up a channel on Youtube, and then threatened an AP affiliate for embedding that content."

Anyone see the CEO on Charlie Rose last night?
Rose asked him for details on how he was planning on executing the control that he said they wanted.
His response was long, but the most important part was one word: Beacon
He wants to "embed a beacon" in the news to let them know where it is being used.
Um. Good luck with that...

In theory none of them.
In practice, just about all of them.
That's part of what's killing newspapers, they all carry the *exact* same articles, because they rely pretty much completely on the AP for their content.
