We’ve known that the Associated Press has some odd policies in regards to social media and the web for a while. The AP social media policy says that employees need to control not only what they said on Facebook (Facebook), but what their friends said as well. We also got wind last week of the AP’s plan to find where anyone uses AP material online in an attempt to stop what it considers unauthorized use of its content. To say it’s causing controversy would be an understatement.

The U.S. said it won a World Trade Organization dispute with China over patent and copyright protections, sparked by complaints by makers of movies, music, and software that their products are being pirated. A WTO panel of judges ruled today that China’s intellectual property laws are inconsistent with its obligations to the Geneva-based trade arbiter, the U.S. Trade Representative’s office said in a statement.

With individual newspapers and professional associations chasing after all manner of notions of how to build a business model that successfully bridges the transition from print to digital, a seemingly simple idea is taking hold among some legal thinkers -- rewriting copyright law. The idea received a major push over the weekend from Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Connie Schultz of The Plain Dealer in Cleveland. Schultz reviewed the ideas of David Marburger, a First Amendment attorney at the firm Baker and Hostetler, and his brother Daniel, an economics professor at Arkansas State University. Their idea focuses on how to protect the originators of news such as newspapers from aggregators who link or rewrite that content, and may sell advertising against it.
