NEW YORK, July 30 (Reuters) - Zillow ZG.O was sued on Wednesday by real estate information provider CoStar Group CSGP.O, which accused the largest U.S. online real estate portal of publishing at least 46,979 copyrighted photos without permission. The complaint filed in Manhattan federal court seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, which CoStar estimated could exceed $1 billion. CoStar obtained a $500 million award in 2019 against the real estate listing platform Xceligent, over the publication of 38,489 copyrighted photos, court records show. Zillow did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
