Comments on: Associated Press threatens AP affiliate over YouTube channel http://boingboing.net/2009/04/08/associated-press-thr.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Mon, 20 May 2013 19:42:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Anonymous http://boingboing.net/2009/04/08/associated-press-thr.html#comment-460038 Anonymous Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-460038 AP is clueless. The other day I saw an AP news image of the Shepard Fairey Obama poster next to the original photograph that AP owns. What was funny was that in that image, they were USING (via fair use) Fairey's image. So it's fair use for them, but not for him! AP is clueless.

That is if any teaching professional will endorse the use of it in the future. Luckily , the AP will still be able to make money from it’s stylebook for high school journalism students.
