Copyright, copy wrong or just copy, right?

DON'T YOU JUST LOVE obviously contradictory instructions? You know, hurry up and wait and the like. Well, MSN is doing it in a big way, take a look at this this one, found at the pictured URL, but it will probably be the same for any MSN displayed AP story.

Now, at the bottom, it clearly has the words 'Copyright 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.' I don't know about you, but in my world, printing and emailing the article in question would fall afoul of several of those restriction, and violate several US and most likely international laws.

This is why MSN, kissing cousin of IP warrior MS, has the handy 'Print This' and 'Email This' buttons right under the dire warning as you can see below. Irony makes for a great story, don't you think? µ
