A coalition of American TV networks have won an injunction against a UK company which was streaming their content through its own website. Fox, CBS, ABC and NBC sued FilmOn.com, which was retransmitting their programmes, as they believe it to be in breach of copyright law. The court has granted the TV companies a temporary restraining order pending a full judgment. Although this case is being heard under US law, a similar case is to be heard later this year in the UK. Colleges and universities should be aware that retransmission of broadcasts is likely to be a copyright restricted activity, and that the ERA licences are unlikely to permit such activity.
