The Johannesburg High Court has dismissed eMedia’s application attacking a MultiChoice restriction blocking SABC 2 from showing Rugby World Cup matches on Openview.
The Johannesburg High Court has struck eMedia’s urgent application against MultiChoice off the roll due to lack of urgency.over restrictions it placed in a sub-licensing deal with the SABC, blocking it from showing Rugby World Cup games on Openview.
It reached a last-minute agreement with South Africa’s public broadcaster, the SABC, to broadcast 16 matches live, including every Springboks game. Jury said that SuperSport had paid a substantial sum to secure the exclusive broadcasting rights for the Rugby World Cup. “SABC is paying for free-to-air rights, and the rugby should be available on all free-to-air platforms,” Rafferty stated.
“The only conclusion we can draw from MultiChoice and SuperSport’s restriction on Openview is to damage the goodwill of eMedia and the Openview platform.”
