WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF AGAIN?: AN ANALYSIS OF COPYRIGHT AND UNFAIR COMPETITION SOLUTIONS TO FACT-BASED-JOURNALISM AGAINST NEWS AGGREGATORS?
ABSTRACT
Traditional news organisations that are a vital tool for the dissemination of knowledge are on their deathbeds because they have lost their economic power in the last decades in the US. News aggregators are having a debilitating effect on traditional news organisations’ profitability. Copyright protection does not extend to facts in journalistic articles but only expression therein. This article argues that we should offer enough protection to traditional news gatherers to survive in the digital era. For such protection, this article specifically discusses whether the hot news doctrine in the shape of federal legislation could help news producers against free riders in the market.
