There's already precedence for this in news: News outlets constantly report on each other's stories. That's why they care so much about being first on a story, because once they break it, it is fair game for everyone else to report on it too.

Here's a hypothetical: suppose there is a random fact about some news event that has only been reported in a single article. Do they suddenly have a monopoly on that fact, and deserve compensation whenever that fact gets picked up and repeated by other news articles or books or TV shows or movies (or AI models)?
