Dow Jones & Co., the parent of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires, has filed a lawsuit against Briefing.com, accusing it of stealing its headlines and its other business news content, write Bob Van Voris and Sarah Rabil of Bloomberg News.
“‘Briefing.com has been brazenly taking a free ride on the reputation of our publications and on the investment Dow Jones makes in quality, real-time journalism,’ Mark H. Jackson, general counsel for Dow Jones, said in the statement.
“Kelly Kauffman, a spokeswoman for Chicago-based Briefing.com, didn’t immediately respond to a call and e-mail seeking comment.
“In one two-week period, Briefing.com copied parts of at least 100 articles and more than 70 headlines within three minutes of their publication on Dow Jones Newswires, the company said in the statement.”
