Optus appeals TV Now ruling to High Court

By James Hutchinson on May 10, 2012


Optus will appeal the full Federal Court decision that banned its TV 
Now free-to-air recording service last month.

The telco's chief executive Paul O'Sullivan told media this afternoon 
that the company would seek leave to appeal the decision to the High 
Court in a bid to overturn the decision holding back the service from 
public use.

Despite getting a tick under an initial court judgment in February, 
the nascent product - which allows users to record and view 
free-to-air programs later on mobiles - was banned by the full 
Federal Court in April for infringing the copyright of sporting 
bodies the AFL and NRL.
