Isn't it the case that re-transmitting the free to air broadcast adds
value to the TV rights holders?
If Telstra paid $150m for exclusive online rights, couldn't it be
argued the TV rights (including TV Now style legal rebroadcasting) are
now even more valuable, as the broadcast advertisements will reach a
larger audience?
