AP Meets with Media Bloggers Association

You know it was too good for us to just leave well enough alone. After all, who doesn't like a good fight? So that's why we're following the AP vs Bloggers story closely.

Recent reports suggest that the Associated Press has scheduled a meeting for this morning with the Media Bloggers Association. In hopes of discussing appropriate guidelines for quoting AP stories, the phrase "fair use" is bound to make a few appearances, as well as lots of analytics, indicating, perhaps, the large amounts of traffic that the AP gets from humble little blogs.
