Legality is no defense: UKNova shuttered despite respect for copyright holders
- steve-howard 14y agoJust because the content wasn't available for purchase doesn't mean it wasn't copyrighted. I am not familiar with UK law and am open to correction, but it sounds like this was still illegal. Not that I think it's such a bad thing, but "Legality is no defense" is just linkbait.
- lmm 14y agoThe title doesn't match the story. UKNova's policy may be morally good and "respectful" of copyright holders, but what it isn't is legal; just because the DVDs won't be out for another 15 days doesn't mean you have a license to distribute a copyrighted TV show.
