The Associated Press: AP settles case over copying of news stories: "NEW YORK (AP) — The Associated Press will collect undisclosed damages as part of a settlement of its lawsuit against All Headline News, a site that copied AP stories online without permission.
The AP considered the lawsuit an important test of the 'hot news' doctrine, which was established in a 1918 Supreme Court case involving the news service. The principle holds that while facts cannot be copyrighted, media organizations can sue when competitors copy time-sensitive news."

But two other developments in U.S. courts seem more important to the average music fan because of the potential they have for disrupting digital services."
