snappedshot.com — Howdy, Digg. Apparently, if you create a blog that's dedicated to analysis and commentary of "photo"journalism, you are not permitted to actually use "photo"graphs. Interesting, no?

So why is the AP seeking action against me? I am not making any money off of their work. I am not a mainstream "news" site ala Yahoo, Google, or Breitbart. So what's the deal? Is the Associated Press uncomfortable with the content of this website? Have I struck a nerve too close to home? No idea, but if you're a lawyer that deals in intellectual property, I'm ready to become your new best friend... - ChipDWood, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1Unless they're entirely brainless, they'll back off of this one, particularly using this method of oppressing what they don't want others to see in this way. Biased, yes. Stupid? We'll see the severity soon enough. They play with matches while sitting upon a powder keg.
