The Associated Press has filed 7 DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) takedowns against the Drudge Retort, a community blog much like BlueNC. According to editor Rogers Cadenhead:

I'm currently engaged in a legal disagreement with the Associated Press, which claims that Drudge Retort users linking to its stories are violating its copyright and committing "'hot news' misappropriation under New York state law." An AP attorney filed six Digital Millenium Copyright Act takedown requests this week demanding the removal of blog entries and another for a user comment.
