Wow, check out all the strong language from the AP chief and News Corp's Rupert Murdoch:
"it is time for search engines and others who use news content for free to pay up"
"We content creators have been too slow to react to the free exploitation of news by third parties"
"We content creators must quickly and decisively act to take back control of our content"
"We will no longer tolerate the disconnect between people who devote themselves — at great human and economic cost — to gathering news of public interest and those who profit from it without supporting it"
"The aggregators and plagiarists will soon have to pay a price for the co-opting of our content. But if we do not take advantage of the current movement toward paid content, it will be the content creators — the people in this hall — who will pay the ultimate price and the content kleptomaniacs who triumph"
Ironic that my link is on Google, hosting AP:
