Google News negotiating with AP

On the heels of AFP's lawsuit against Google News, word that Google and AP are talking about a deal.

From the Los Angeles Times (via Paid Content):

Executives from Associated Press are also concerned about Google and other news aggregators that pluck stories from the Web instead of paying for them. They have not sued Google or asked Google to remove AP stories from the news service but said they were in negotiations, trying to persuade the Internet company to buy a license.

"We believe AP content has value online, and we expect to be compensated for it," said Jane Seagrave, director of new media at AP.

A Google spokesman declined to comment on negotiations with the wire service.
