This is not completely related but it goes against AP's credibility for sure. Pokertips.org has just caught AP scraping content off their site and calling it their own. Pokertips state this was written in 2003. If you go to the Internet Archives you will see it was on Pokertips site on or before October 5th 2003, on AP's site it was not recorded until November 2005.

Just add this to the mountain of dishonest things they have done in the past. Site scraping really hits home with me after having my content ripped off time and time again when I owned a rakeback directory.

IMO if AP does not get their act together shortly it will be time to call for player and affiliate boycotts. Players are already contacting AP's advertising venues with what is going on. AP just gets deeper and deeper.
