I don't know, seems to me you shot your own argument in the foot. Your reference from their site: The undersigned recognizes that Business Wire is a membership organization engaged in the business of data transmission. As a member of Business Wire, I (we) warrant that I am (we are) solely responsible for the accuracy, originality and factual content of all materials submitted to Business Wire for distribution. This says the Business Wire member is solely responsible for the accuracy, originality AND FACTUAL CONTENT of all materials SUBMITTED FOR DISTRIBUTION. Your reference from the complaint: However, Business Wire does act to ensure that the information it provides is accurate by requiring, as a condition of distributing any press release over its wire service and on its website, that the person or entity submitting the press release warrant that the factual content in the materials submitted for distribution by Business Wire is true and accurate. Again, it states the person or entity submitting the press release warrant that the FACTUAL CONTENT in the materials submitted FOR DISTRIBUTION IS TRUE and accurate. They both say the same thing it seems.
