The Tulsa World Has Bitten Off More Than It Can Chew

That's my prediction, and I'm sticking to it.

In case you haven't heard the Tulsa World is going after bloggers for copyright infringement, which includes quotations from news/editorials and linking to their website.

To see the original post from a threatened but uncowed blogger:

Whirled threatens BatesLine

To see examples of these bloggers dastardly deeds:

Averill waste of Newsprint (From Batseline)
David Ad-verril (From Medblogged)

Some initial reactions from the blogosphere:

From Michelle Malkin: The Tulsa World Bullies A Blogger
From Doug Petch: Blogging And Fair Use
From Ace of Spades HQ: The Legacy Media Is Mad As Hell and They're Not Going to Take It Anymore

Since this threatens EVERY blogger that touches on poltical/current events issues this will not remain a small story.
