What on earth difference is there between Matt Drudge and the folks who think they no longer have to pay for music if technology makes it possible to steal it? Worse, he is making money off the work of others. It's like pirating digital music and then making millions off it.

If his takedown was the result of a legal threat, it likely wasn't Yahoo or Knight-Ridder. AP tends to be the most litigious. As one might say, "DEVELOPING..."

News service headlines, photos? Never has before, claims it's all free free free free free to use (but credit him with breaking that story, got it) Oh why would Drudge ever pay for rights to anything?

You basically said his intentions were libelous, his actions were not. I could say "Gunga, despite your inclinations to continue to post flames, your choice not to do so has prevented you from being silly." Back to the actual topic, so is he now right-click-saving them to his server? Or is he paying rights? You didn’t do “the exact opposite” of accusing Rex of libel.

AP Helpless! MSNBC VOWS to Stop Him with Claims that He is Gay! (not that there's anything wrong with that)" Rex, who accused you of libel? Seems to me that the exact opposite of that was claimed about you. I guess that's proof positive that you work for MSNBC. I mean, you have no beef with being described as having "loathesome inclinations" (HA!) but choose to brag (falsely) about being accused of having committed libel. I guess that also confirms the "loathesome inclinations" part (as if your previous expression of homophobia wasn't enough). Bravo, Einstein! Safran - see the above, you Einstein-by-proxy. “Matt Drudge - Internet Bandwidth Vampire Strikes Again! AP Helpless! MSNBC VOWS to Stop Him with Claims that He is Gay!

This is no longer about just being "lazier than usual." He's now got one small photo on his site, hosted on his own server. Something has caused Drudge to change his practices.

Anything we can do to expedite libel charges while minimizing man hours seems like a win-win.
