Old, new media economies clash

RealAudio - MP3 - iTunes

Last month the Associated Press created an Internet tempest when it demanded a Web site take down headlines and short excerpts of AP stories for which the site had not paid. The AP claimed the excerpting was a theft of its intellectual property, but the prevailing feeling in the blogosphere was that the AP just didn't get it -- that it should be grateful for the web links to its content.

Media critic Jeff Jarvis says the AP incident signifies the struggle between the old and new media economies.
