That is already the #law; #facts cannot be #copyrighted. Ideas cannot be copyrighted. Only a particular #expression of an #idea can be copyrighted.

If #newspaper A prints a scoop, newspaper B or website C is already free to write their own #article using facts from it. They can't just #copy the #article and change a few words, but they absolutely can use every fact from the original, and even #quote it with #attribution.
