Austrian Pay TV Firm Can't Charge For Clips

Sky Austria, part owned by News Corp, is not entitled to payments from a rival broadcaster using its soccer coverage for clips in news reports, an adviser to Europe's highest court said on Tuesday. Although being played out in one of Europe's smaller TV markets, the case is likely to be widely watched across the continent, where offshoots of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp have bought up live rights to sports to encourage consumers to sign up for pay TV services.
