Google reveals payment deal with AP

Google has agreed to pay the Associated Press for use of its news stories and pictures, according to a statement released by the two companies.

"Google has always believed that content providers and publishers should be fairly compensated for their work so they can continue producing high-quality information," Google representative Sonya Boralv said in a statement. "We are always working on new ways to help users find the information they are looking for, and our business agreement with the Associated Press is one example of that."

"The license in this agreement provides for new uses of original AP content for features and products we will introduce in the future," Boralv said.

AFP's lawsuit against Google is still ongoing, btw.
