No. I'd say this is the right place for this post.

The AP is pissed that their antiquated business model no longer exists. The AP is behaving more and more like a bully

I've been watching these suits and although I am not a judge I don't think that what Moreover or All Headline News is doing is even illegal.

From I can see is AP is throwing around alot of lawyers claiming "Hot News" ... AP Is proving themselves to be nothing more than a bully and a litigous one at that.. Anyone recall the Getty Images Fiascos!

I don't know that "Hot News" exists like AP is claiming.. Moreover and All Headline News have some very strong arguements in their recents motions and briefs that seriously challenge AP.. You can pull their motions and briefs up on lexis/nexis. Law geek reading!
