Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) said on Wednesday that Internet firm Yahoo had obtained a 'free ride' by reproducing its news content on its website without the company's permission.
The media company said this in a reply to the defence by Yahoo! in the law suit that it commenced against the Internet company for allegedly infringing its copyright.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, SPH said that it is 'determined to pursue this suit vigorously and to protect its copyrighted works'. It added that it 'cannot allow a third party to plagiarise its works without regard to the effort and resources that go into producing its content'.
