A.?. News For Certain Period
^By The Associated Press)
San Francisco, Dec. 17, —
Radio Station KVOS Bell
ingham, was ordered en
joined from pirating news
from the Associated Press,
by the Ninth U. S. Circuit
Court of Appeals, today,
which declared that the
practice constituted unfair
competition and uncon
sciously injured newspap
er members in performing
a public function and leg
itimate business”.
The decision reversing
the opinion of the Federal
District court in Seattle,
was written by Circuit Jud
Ige William Denman.
It ordered the Seattle
1 court to issue an injunction
restraining KVOS from ap
propriating broadcasting
news gathered by the As
sociated Press “for a per
iod following its publica
tion in member newspap
ers during which the broad
casting of pirated news by
KVOS to its auditors is
most likely to damage mem
ber papers of the AP in
their business of procuring
or maintaining their sub
scriptions and advertising.
“Consideration in arriv
ing at our decision should
be given to the likelihood
that KVOS auditors are
awaiting pirated news be
cause it is free and does
not require a subscription
to a newspaper”, the court
said.
