Court Rules TVCatchup In Copyright Breach
- The Drum, Sunday, March 10, 2013 12:21 PM

Europe’s highest court made the pronouncement which affects dozens of websites showing live TV in the UK and is likely to spark a renewed clampdown by rights holders such as ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 against similar sites.
