AP Threatens Google

Forbes reports:

If Associated Press Chief Executive Tom Curley's remarks this week about Google reflect the tenor of the talks between the two, discussions can't be going well.

The AP and Google ( GOOG - news - people ) have been debating content and compensation issues for months. In an interview with Forbes on Wednesday, Curley warned that if Google doesn't strike the right deal with the AP soon, "They will not get our copy going forward."

Good luck to the AP if Google doesn't want to carry their stuff in searches.
