I'm not so sure about that: At least in West Germany the copyright
laws state that news (as printed in newspaper articles) receive protection
only for a very limited time (~ 2 days or so). As West Germany signed the
international copyright treaty, I can imagine that this rule originates there.
The USA did sign this treaty recently, also, thus it could be the case that
the copyright protection for news is restricted in the US also!
