At Indymedia NL we don't accept (c) articles for several reasons, but
other IMC's do. Now, Reuters is deploying a bot to search for these
articles. Either you can block this bot, or you will have to delete all
these Reuters articles, when you will get an e-mail from them. I don't
know if they fill demand some money, or ask you friendly to delete the
articles. This e-mail is just to warn ppl in advance. Robin.

REUTERS TO DEPLOY CONTENT MONITORING SOLUTION FROM FAST
http://www.fast.no/us/news_events/press_releases/2004/reuters_to_deploy_content_monitoring_solution_from_fast

FAST Content Monitoring Application will Track Reuters Online and Print
News Content to Identify Copyright Infringements

OSLO, Norway —23 March 2004 —Fast Search & Transfer™ (FAST™), the leading
developer of enterprise search and real-time alerting technologies,
announced today that Reuters will deploy a software solution developed by
FAST that enables the company to protect its intellectual assets by
improving brand and content protection. In identifying and logging Reuters
content on the Internet, the FAST search derivative application (SDA) for
content monitoring will generate reports for Reuters that will help the
company to monitor the Internet for copyright infringements of Reuters
content.

Reuters’ deployment of the FAST content monitoring application capitalizes
upon its current use of FAST ESP™, FAST’s powerful, real-time enterprise
search platform. The Reuters News Distribution Service (NDS) uses FAST ESP
to provide thousands of news service subscribers with customized
information that is highly relevant to the news articles they are
developing. In addition, FAST ESP enables Reuters NDS subscribers to save
specific company and news triggers, so that they can be alerted in
real-time as new information on these topics are made public.

“As the world’s largest international multimedia news agency and content
provider, it is important to know as much as we can about how Reuters’
copyrighted news content is being used by our subscribers, as well as the
general public,” Paul Hansford, Global Head of Content Quality at Reuters.
“FAST’s ability to filter and retrieve news results from thousands of data
sources, in multiple languages, with the highest relevancy for our
subscribers has impressed us. We are looking forward to seeing how the
implementation of FAST ESP will help us track copyright infringements and
protect our corporate identity.”

FAST’s unique, single-platform approach is setting new search standards by
providing customers and partners worldwide with scalable, industrial
strength search solutions that address their needs and allow them to
migrate from smaller installations to enterprise-wide deployments, as
required, without changing software platform.

“Whether used by millions of news subscribers around the world, or for
internally tracking copyright infringements on the Internet, the FAST
enterprise search solutions offer global organizations, such as Reuters,
the tools to maximize the value of the information they gather, organize
and analyze,” said John M. Lervik, FAST’s chief executive officer. “We are
pleased that Reuters has decided to expand their use of FAST ESP for new
applications across their enterprise.”

Running on low-cost, high performance servers, the precision-engineered
FAST ESP enables organizations to efficiently gain a 360-degree view of
relevant structured data stored in databases, as well as the unstructured
data of documents, emails, presentations, Web pages, and more. Whether
data exists in multiple databases and applications, on corporate
intranets, or on the Web, FAST ESP provides unlimited access and
scalability in data volume, number of users, and freshness of data. It
also enables organizations to draw one complete, accurate, secure, and
intelligent view of all the information they need to advance the fortunes
of the enterprise.

FAST ESP is offered through the FAST Data Search™ suite of enterprise
search solutions, which includes FAST Data Search™ for Site Search; FAST
Data Search™ for Compliance; FAST Data Search™ for eCommerce; FAST Data
Search™ for Intranets; and FAST Data Search™ 360. The FAST Data Search
product suite supplies a complete information retrieval solution ideal for
key vertical markets and applications including e-Commerce and Internet
Portals, Financial Services; Government; Life Sciences; Media and
Publishing; and Telecom.
