“A US federal judge has ruled that the online news ‘clipping’ service Meltwater violates copyright law by using excerpts from Associated Press articles, the parties said Thursday. ‘Investigating and writing about newsworthy events occurring around the globe is an expensive undertaking and enforcement of the copyright laws permits AP to earn the revenue that underwrites that work,’ the judge said in a 91-page opinion. ‘Permitting Meltwater to take the fruit of AP’s labor for its own profit, without compensating AP, injures AP’s ability to perform this essential function of democracy.'”
