In a recent case, users of media monitoring services were ruled to have infringed the copyright of publishers when they received material from the services but did not have an end-user licence. The services themselves had the relevant licences, but their customers did not.
The case also clarified the point that both headlines and short text extracts were also copyright.
If you make use of such a service, it is worth making sure that all appropriate licences and permissions are held.
