THE PITCH

As widely reported, The AP has begun threatening bloggers who quote more than 4 words of their articles. Not only does this violate standard fair use exceptions, it’s a complete departure from what everyone else on the Web is doing.

The AP can make this claim, but it’s only a rule if we let it be one. This campaign aims to organize 1,000 bloggers who will collectively and wantonly violate the AP’s copyright policy, effectively overwhelming them and making their policy impossible to enforce.

So what happens once the campaign tips? We will simply treat AP articles like any other article on the Web — quoting them, with attribution, in accordance with standard fair use guidelines. Read More

The AP doesn’t get to make the rules on the Internet. Let’s show them what happens when they break them.

Yep. I’m into this idea. I can’t stand it when traditional media shows up to the internet party and wants to remake the cyber world in its own image.

My blog mainly documents aspects of my music making and band (tour diaries, news, giveaways, etc), so it might not be the most relevant, but I will nonetheless be eager to participate in this when we reach the tipping point.
