Settlement is reached regarding VOW
(Virtual Office Websites)
VOWs requiring users to login to receive MLS data prompted an antitrust lawsuit by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in 2003. Click here for the Podcast explaining the May 27, 2008 NAR and Department of Justice settlement concerning VOWs. (6.59 min.) Also the Podcast explains the important MLS Participant rule which will affect current MLS Participants in May 2009. This rule will be mandatory for all MLSs and is in place to protect our data from licensed brokers participating in a MLS for the express purpose of using our MLS data to distribute and/or sell to the general public (ex. such as Goodlebase, Yahoo, homes.com, zillow.com etc.).
