  1. Comment - AP sets up a toll booth for bloggers citing its stories

    Your comment that fair use isn't a right, but is instead a defense against claims of copyright infringement is a common misunderstanding. Rights and defenses are not mutually exclusive categories. For instance, "self defense" can be used as a defense in criminal cases BECAUSE it is a right.

    The same is true for "fair use."
