AP wins copyright case against news aggregator
A federal trial court in New York ruled last week that aggregator Meltwater News violated Associated Press copyrights in its online news stories. Meltwater News included excerpts of AP articles in news digests to its subscribers and refused to pay AP licensing fees. The district court held that Meltwater News did not engage in fair use of AP articles, finding that Meltwater News is a private news clipping service, not a traditional public search engine, and harmed AP by competing for customers. NAA filed an amicus brief in the case, along with The New York Times Co., Advance Publications Inc., Gannett Co. Inc., The McClatchy Co. and BurrellesLuce.

Why beer marketers don't spend much on Joe Six-Pack anymore
Ad Age
With the beer market inundated by fruity flavored brews, pricey craft brands and Justin Timberlake ads, whatever happened to Joe Six-Pack? He's still there, chugging cheap beers after work, but brewers are dedicating fewer dollars to reach him as the "subpremium" segment declines. Instead, beer marketers, on a quest for fatter profit margins, are encouraging drinkers to trade up to pricier line extensions such as Bud Light Platinum or new concoctions like Redd's Apple Ale.

Google discontinues site-blocking service
Wired
The hits just keep getting killed off. Google is shutting down yet another service — the company's domain blocking tool, which allowed logged-in users to block unwanted domains from Google's search results.

The exciting uncertainty at the intersection of content and commerce
TechCrunch
Content and commerce have always had a symbiotic relationship that many traditional content providers tried to separate. The wall between editorial and business, otherwise known as the separation of church and state, is and always has contained back doors and windows in which compromises are made. Today's successful digital companies know to blend content and commerce so that the content is compelling and, frankly, still sells stuff.
