De um ex-funcionário da AP eu copio e linko (e credito e agradeço) a seguinte parte do novo livro “Remix” de Lawrence Lessig, a quem eu também copio e linko (e credito e agradeço e concordo e apóio), abaixo:

Writing, in the traditional sense of words placed on paper, is the ultimate form of democratic activity, where, again, “democratic” doesn’t mean people vote, but instead means that everyone within a society has access to the means to write. We teach everyone to write—in theory, if not in practice. We understand quoting is an essential part of that writing. It would be impossible to construct and support that practice if permission were required every time a quote was made. The freedom to quote, and to build upon, the words of others is taken for granted by everyone who writes.
~ trecho de “Remix“, de Lawrence Lessig @ The Associated Press v. The Quote, Joe Mullin

Quem quiser acompanhar o terremoto que a AP causou na web ao tabelar e ameaçar processar quem quiser citá-la e às notícias dela ($12.50 é o preço mais barato, para citações de 5-9 palavras!) pode começar por esses ótimos posts:

+ Techcrunch: Here’s Our New Policy On A.P. stories: They’re Banned
+ Jeff Jarvis: FU AP, AP, hole, dig e A proposal to the Associated Press: A link ethic
+ BoingBoing: Associated Press expects you to pay to license 5-word quotations (and reserves the right to terminate your license) e Who are the “Media Bloggers Association” and what gives them to right to negotiate copyright with the Associated Press?
+ Dave Winner (Scripting): AP objetcs quoting and linking, The AP mess, day 2, The AP mess, day 3, The AP mess, day 4,

P.S.: Outros posts relacionados deste blog estão aqui (comentário sobre um post do Seth Godin, do mês passado) e aqui (sobre deep linking, há 6 anos).
