With this said, I'm not sure how they can copyright others' news stories, but I'd guess the the "compilations/group of summaries" can be copyright protected.

Also, there is a point in US copyright law called being "set" which means a document has to be finished before it can get copyrights. The concept being, "How can you have copyright protection for something that will changed?"

With this said, getting sued by Microsoft's lawyers is something most of us may not want to risk...
