All I agree that "won" may be slightly inaccurate. Actually, you could say that it's a pyrrhic victory because of the copyright issues associated with the Premier League anthem, graphics, etc and it is interesting that the judge is reported to have said that "the other complex issues regarding the wider legality of screening matches would have to be decided "at a later date". Something similar happened in the parallel civil proceedings, aspects of which will now be dealt with the patents county court. The civil proceedings are at: Football Association Premier League Ltd & Ors v QC Leisure & Ors [2012] EWHC 108 (Ch) (03 February 2012) http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2012/108.html Kind Regards Jack Jack Anderson School of Law Queen's University, Belfast Tel: (+44) 028 9097 3470 http://blogs.qub.ac.uk/sportslaw/ -----Original Message----- From: Sport and the European Union [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Boyes, Simon Sent: 24 February 2012 11:24 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Karen Murphy case Dear all, It may be of interest to know that the BBC is reporting that Karen Murphy has 'won' her case in respect of broadcasting Greek coverage of English Premier League football matches. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17150054 If anyone happens to have a link to the judgment I'd appreciate a tip off.
