Quick update on the IceTV v Nine Network case you mentioned in the podcast.

http://www.icetv.com.au/news/?p=606

The long awaited judgment from the High Court of Australia in the three year legal battle between IceTV and the Nine Network will be handed down in Canberra tomorrow morning (Wednesday 22 April at 10:15), almost six months after the case was brought by IceTV in front of the full bench of the Hight Court.

IceTV successfully defended the Nine Network’s allegations including having costs awarded in a judgment handed down in August 2007 by her Honour Justice Bennett in the Federal Court after some eight months of deliberation. The Federal Court found that IceTV did not and does not in any way breach Nine’s copyright in creating its IceTV Guide, which is an “independent compilation” built using IceTV’s own proprietary methodology and software applications.

The Nine Network then appealed the decision and the matter was heard by the Full Court of the Federal Court in February, 2008. In May 2008, the ruling made by Justice Bennett was overturned by the Full Court.

So there you go, all will be revealed in the morning, lets hope the court sticks with the Judges original decision.

Here's hoping. Nine's case was absurd, in my view.
