Unanimous decision in favour of right holders from the Norwegian Supreme Court
On November 28, 2018, the Norwegian Supreme Court ruled in the dispute between the right holders organization TONO and the TV operator RiksTV regarding RiksTV's distribution of television channels in the digital terrestrial network. The Supreme Court has unanimously and unequivocally established that RiksTV has an independent responsibility for clarifying the use of copyrighted material.
This ruling concludes the long dispute between RiksTV and the right holders - first through court proceedings with Norwaco, then through the case in question with TONO.
