MUCH like the rest of 'dat ol' media' and Hollywood, Associated Press has been one of the more vocal offenders and battlers against Fair Use doctrine. It was therefore amusing to find them spreading their videos in YouTube, free of charge. Yes, no less than 10976 of them! Here is one which is relevant to us.
As a totally separate side note, earlier today I dumped CNET after years as a feeds subscriber. That site has become utter trash and it's filled with Microsoft and Apple 'advertisements' to the rim (mostly disguised as blog posts). Here is a short list of recommended news sites that are trustworthy:
"Richard Stallman has cancer. Fortunately it is slow-growing and manageable follicular lymphona, so he will probably live many more years nonetheless. But he now has to be even more careful not to catch Covid-19."
It's probably too later to save Julian Assange as a working publisher (he might never recover from the mental torture), but as a person and a father we can wish and work towards his release
People like these belong in handcuffs and behind bars (sometimes they are) and our readers still deserve to know the full story. It's a cautionary tale for other groups and sites
