Via The Guardian: Aggregation aggravation: NYTCo hit with copyright suit over hyperlocal content:
"Aggravation over aggregation: It's been a while since sites threatened legal action related to aggregated content. The GateHouse-NYTCo suit comes a few days after Huffington Post's Chicago-based site was called on the carpet of using parts of Chicago Reader's concert reviews without permission. Also, the suit is being brought at a time when local and regional papers are feeling crushed by the economy and the general state of the newspaper business. NYTCo rep Catherine Mathis tells Boston.com that the its hyperlocal sites aren't doing anything different from what blogs have been doing all along. Mathis: "Far from being illegal or improper, this practice of linking to sites is common and is familiar to anyone who has searched the web.""
