Ian Lamont writes "The Associated Press, the non-profit news gathering and distribution service, has filed DMCA takedown notices against social news/blog The Drudge Retort for posting short excerpts of AP stories. The website has complied with the notices, and has described some additional details. In a letter to Rogers Cadenhead, the owner of The Retort, the AP believes 'the Drudge Retort users' use of AP content does not fall within the parameters of fair use.' Another comment, posted by AP staff on multiple blogs and news sites, says the news service gets concerned when 'we feel the use is more reproduction than reference, or when others are encouraged to cut and paste.'"
