The competitor referenced seems to have been Meltwater, Inc.

Just this morning, I spotted a legal notice in the Los Angeles Times, which appears to have been running for a couple of weeks, that Meltwater, Inc. has filed suit against Anti-Meltwater.

It's a California court and California lawyer, so it will be interesting to know how this does not run foul of California's anti-SLAPP statutes.

If you read the ruling you will see that the judge gave weight to European Court
of Justice findings that extracts of eleven words from any copyright work are
protected by that copyright, provided that they embody the expression of the
creative work of the author.

This brings within the ambit of copyright in the UK, and Europe generally, a
great many activities which would be considered fair use in the United States.

I also note that the judge held that the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act
(CDPA) was more restrictive than the Berne Convention text, but that the Berne
Convention could not be used to broaden the interpretation of UK legislation.

Interesting stuff, and to be the subject of UK Supreme Court scrutiny.
