The Second Circuit has reversed a lower court in the case of Theflyonthewall.com Inc v. Barclays Capital Inc., ruling that Theflyonthewall.com’s practice of publishing information as “hot news” which Barclays claimed was copyright infringement and interfered with its ability to profit from its own research comes within the ambit of the First Amendment. Google and Twitter filed briefs in support of Theflyonthewall.com.
