Remember that IceTV judgment I talked about a few times? The one about copyright in TV program guides?
Two more items of information. In a comment on this blog, Peter Vogel points out that the court has now made orders in the case: IceTV is permanently restrained from reproducing in a material form Nine Program Time and Title Information, to the extent that such information reproduces the whole or a substantial part of the Nine Weekly Program Schedule. The whole order can be found here.
Second, I note that IceTV is still providing Channel Nine program guides, saying it is in compliance with the order (I wonder how, says Peter in his comment?). IceTV has also applied for special leave from the High Court to appeal from the Full Court judgment.

Nine are the biggest losers in the whole new media disintermediation of legacy media’s banal control of content. They can’t stand being beaten by people with better ideas and better customer service. See my post about why Nine’s Hiro catchup implementation is a failure – http://indolentdandy.net/fitzroyalty/2008/04/18/nines-hiro-catchup-implementation-is-a-failure/

IceTV’s was granted leave to appeal to the High Court at a hearing in Sydney this morning.
The significance of this case goes well beyond its impact on IceTV. See my blog entry here http://vogelross.com.au/vrblog/?p=32.
