Premium Access - Dispose of the Bathwater but Please Keep the Baby

Abstract

United States authorities have recently been actively pursuing information companies. The New York Attorney General is investigating Bloomberg journalists' use of customer data for news gathering, a Californian judge has ruled that the government may pursue claims against Standard & Poor's, and the Securities & Exchange Commission has been investigating Thomson Reuters' accidental early release of Institute of Supply Management data. But even if these cases are clear cut, the New York Attorney General's requirement that Thomson Reuters stop some privileged distribution of University of Michigan consumer data raises issues of whether such "public good research" would be carried out at all without private subsidy.
