The Associated Press sued a company that aggregates and redistributes news online, claiming it is making improper use of AP's copyright-protected headlines, stories and photos. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages from Moreover Technologies and its parent, VeriSign Inc. It also seeks an end to the practices. AP claims Moreover improperly displays AP's headlines and portions of stories as part of its free, ad-supported services. The lawsuit points out that Moreover's own promotional materials claim to ''harvest'' news from the AP and thousands of other sources in ''as fast as two minutes.'' VeriSign said it would have no comment.
