Sports websites face legal battle over use of short video clips.
The article discusses a legal case between England and Wales Cricket Board Limited and Tixdaq Limited regarding copyright infringement. Tixdaq Limited used eight-second clips of cricket matches on their sports website and mobile applications without permission. The court considered defences like fair dealing and reporting current events, but ruled in favor of the cricket board. The use of the clips was not considered fair as there was not sufficient acknowledgement. Tixdaq Limited was found liable for hosting the infringing content and the infringement was deemed flagrant.
