Misc: Join bloggers in boycotting the AP

Myrna puts forth a great case for boycotting AP content.

I’ve had the opportunity to talk with one of the DMCA’s authors, and I was told that the law was written to protect consumers of media. It was screwed up by Congress to the point that it now protects large corporations. That sucks.

The bastardization of the DMCA shouldn’t be allowed to continue, and this could be where it begins to turn.
