Streaming Service FilmOn Not Entitled To Cable License, D.C. Judge Says
- Hollywood Reporter, Friday, November 13, 2015 5:07 PM
A federal judge in Washington, D.C. has rejected online video distributor FilmOn's argument that it's entitled to a compulsory cable license. The decision is at odds with a recent ruling by U.S. District Court Judge George Wu in California, who said that FilmOn potentially is entitled to a compulsory license. Broadcasters have appealed Wu's ruling to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which hasn't yet made a decision.
