As you all can see, I have yanked the AP Videos.
I realized that those video are authorized by the AP and are made available through Clip Syndicate. But the AP has, in my opinion, committed the unpardonable sin. They have imposed restrictions on how Bloggers can use their stories. So, until the AP changes their polices, I will not be quoting from the AP and I encourage all bloggers to do the same.
There are plenty of alternatives: Agence France-Press, Reuters, McClatchy, or IPS

Update: Bloggasm (nice name for a Blog…. *hehe*) reports that this wasn’t the first time that AP has given drudge retort a rough time.
