Meanwhile, the real estate board was taking legal action against IMS and R E Stats, which operates as Redatum. TRREB argues MLS data under copyrightThe real estate board argued that MLS data is copyrightable and that Redatum infringed on copyright by accessing and monetizing figures from its system without authorization, the court order said. The Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear the case in 2018 after TRREB claimed the publication of the MLS data posed copyright concerns. Several real estate firms have clashed with the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board over use of MLS data. Zhang has since cancelled his and Bungol's TRREB memberships and now operates Bungol without MLS data.
