Virgin is seeking an injunction restraining Eir from broadcasting all its free-to-air channels and its own Virgin Media One and Two channels. Eir claims Virgin must offer the free-to-air channels on non-discriminatory terms in accordance with the 2009 Broadcasting Act. Proceedings by Virgin against Eir were admitted to the fast-track Commercial Court on Monday by Mr Justice David Barniville. Virgin seeks an injunction preventing infringement of copyright and a declaration Eir has no entitlement, under the Broadcasting Act or otherwise, to broadcast or disseminate the channels via the Apple TV product. It also seeks damages.

Interesting in light of previous moves by RTE to charge for access to their output and Virgin refusing to do so.

We banned discussion of this case in another thread for good reasons, you don’t get to circumvent that by starting a new thread
