WASHINGTON, DC -- The U.S. Supreme Court today denied ivi's petition for review of a lower court ruling that the company violated the intellectual property rights of local and network television broadcasters by illegally re-transmitting those signals on the Internet.
The following statement can be attributed to NAB Executive Vice President of Communications Dennis Wharton:
"NAB is pleased the Supreme Court refused to review the finding that ivi’s unauthorized retransmission of TV programming over the Internet without the permission of content owners is illegal."
