Factual compilations, on the other hand, may possess the requisite
originality. The compilation author typically chooses which facts to
include, in what order to place them, and how to arrange the collected data
so that they may be used effectively by readers. These choices as to
selection and arrangement, so long as they are made independently by the
compiler and entail a minimal degree of creativity, are sufficiently
original that Congress may protect such compilations through the copyright
laws. Nimmer 2.11[D], 3.03; Denicola 523, n. 38. Thus, even a directory that
contains absolutely no protectible written expression, only facts, meets the
constitutional minimum for copyright protection if it features an original
selection or arrangement. See Harper & Row, 471 U.S., at 547 . Accord,
Nimmer 3.03.

This is what I was referring to. So it could be claimed that Moreover's
categorization and collection of newsfeeds could be considered creative
enough to pass the test of originality. Of course, that would be a question
for the courts and would depend on the level of categorization that Moreover
does.
