Associated Press sues VeriSign’s news aggregator

 
The AP is suing MoreOver Technologies Inc, online subsidiary of VeriSign, for “reproducing, publicly displaying, caching and archiving AP's articles on defendants' services without AP's permission."

The lawsuit also says that Moreover is "ultimately selling access to those works immediately upon their publication to paying subscribers ... In one or more their services, defendants deliver the entire AP article."

According to its website, Moreover "continually scours the Internet to capture and distribute breaking news and business information from thousands of qualified, handpicked sources." It provides this content to customers in exchange for a fee.
