Cambodian newspaper sues Radio Free Asia


A small Cambodian newspaper has sued Radio Free Asia for purported copyright violations, charging that the station routinely copied and distributed issues to its staff in Washington and Bangkok and posted some of the paper’s work without permission on the Internet.

Officials at Radio Free Asia, a private, nonprofit broadcaster funded by the US government, said they are aware of the lawsuit, but “vigorously reject” the charges in the filing and are prepared to “decisively refute [them] in court.
