Associated Press Sues All Headline News Corp.

The Associated Press filed suit Monday against a company that it claims copied and rewrote AP stories. The wire service sought unspecified damages and to bar Florida-based AHN Media Corp. and All Headline News Corp. from appropriating AP’s copyright-protected stories.

"AHN calls itself a ‘news service,’" the lawsuit states. "However, on information and belief, AHN has no reporters and is simply a vehicle for copying news reports and misappropriating news gathered and reported by real news services such as AP."
