Civil law is only a weapon if someone is willing to sue.
Mary Anne — (archived)

AP sells its stories to newspapers, which already pay for them. The papers stand to share the benefits for a subscription on the front end, or a fee end users. I bet they will play.

The government will have to sue in that case, and the US government may be reluctant to sue Associated Press.

AP is a well-known and trusted international brand with an archive going back to the American Civil War, one which it markets under its own brand quite successfully. It will boil down to brand loyalty at first, and if it works, more news businesses will look for a bigger payday.

Newspapers are looking for a new business model. They're struggling. They will try this, and depending on how things shake out, it may help them find a way to make their payrolls in a world that thinks what they do is free.
