Rogers Cadenhead: The AP's dispute with the Drudge Retort has been resolved, but it does nothing to resolve the larger conflict between how AP interprets fair use and how thousands of people are sharing news on the web. If an expansive view of fair use is to remain in place, it's incumbent upon bloggers and our $500-an-hour friends in the legal community to define our own guidelines and fight for them. If we don't, big media companies will eventually define them for us, just as they've gotten the Digital Millenium Copyright Act and Copyright Term Extension Act passed in Congress.
