After nearly a year of arguments, a decision has arrived from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in a matter involving Fox News Network that first emerged in August 2013.
The verdict: a $500-per-month TV and radio broadcast search service violated U.S. copyright law by providing users with a search engine of videos from sources including Fox News without their permission.
The decision effectively negates a lower court’s ruling that TVEyes was free to use the videos, following the “Fair Use” doctrine.
