Media Online Withdraws Product Following EMAP Copyright Claim
A recently-launched online advertising rates and data service called Media Online has been forced to withdraw its product from the market after claims of copyright breach.
EMAP Business Publications claimed that some of the data held in the Media Online system, which is produced by Media Online Rates and Data Limited, had been taken from its own advertising information product, BRAD. Media Online has agreed an out of court damages settlement with EMAP after conceding that there is a reasonable prospect of the EMAP copyright claim succeeding.
The Media Online CDs, which contained that software necessary to access the service, have been removed from the market. EMAP is asking anyone with a copy of the product to return it to BRAD Group immediately.
