QUESTION
Is re-communicating what others did (even if they charge their members for this) a copyright infringement?

More details to this question:
My website alerts our members to the stock trades that other traders have made (these other traders charge money to their members to receive their trades). is this copyright infringement? I would have thought there is no original works of authorship in communicating an actual trade (being a factual event), for example joe blogs buys 10 shares of AAPL @ $300.

I do not see any problems under the copyright laws of the us.
