In the era of blogs, Creative Commons licences, Open Source, Open Access&#8230; they are working actively at <b>stopping traffic to their site</b>!!!  How much more stupid can they be? And the way they try to bully everyone around about this, I say&#8230;let them have it: never, ever link to their stories again &#8211; they are stolen stories to begin with, so take a couple of minutes to find the originals that AP stole from, then link to the original.  Let the <a href="http://outwithabang.rickwaghorn.co.uk/?p=89" target="_blank" title="">AP die</a>.</p>
