Hard to say if this is bold or timid under the circumstance. It sure talks bold. I'd be more impressed with WaPo if they had the guts the take AP to the mat on their IP claims, but at least they are sending a clear message that they aren't going to join them.

I would love to see WaPo fight them in court over it... that'd be the thing to do.

I really am shocked that the AP would try such a blatant ploy to secure even tighter rights to the existing fair use laws.
