I have a question about NewsCatcherAPI: what is the legal framework around indexing copyrighted articles and provide a paid API to search them? Edit: particula

  Short answer: seems like OK as long as you do not resell the full body text. Long answer: Google does the same thing everyday. Each country has its own laws. Usually, news are in a special category that is less protected with copyrights.

    Yeah, and Google was sued and settled by agreeing to pay a fee to the news wire: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-google-afp/afp-google-news-settle-lawsuit-over-google-news-idUSN0728115420070407 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-google-afp/afp-google-new...

      To an organization in France. Doesn't sound like concerning precedent to a startup that doesn't share much in common with google.

    I worked for a company doing this in the early 2000s. Perfectly legal to save website text for private use (a search for example). It doesn't need to be news either.
