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.

Sorry, but this isn't WaPo taking a stand, it's a feed from TechCrunch's page. TC is the one banning the AP posts.

I'm not sure. Does WaPo reprint AP articles? This question was asked in the thread, but wasn't responded to. I would think given the visibility of this statement that WaPo management must have approved of it.
