I really don’t think the AAP or the AG did any of us on the lower end of the publishing food chain any favors by caving in to this agreement. I think the fact that all of the big publishers seem to have accepted it with few misgivings makes it quite clear who benefits most from it.

We have to opt-out by May 5th? Anger is certainly my first reaction!
Puts me in mind of the phone company and all those online databases who claim they have the right to post your address & phone number unless you tell them not to…
