Streaming TV Site Wins One in FOX Lawsuit

homepageMMSV5As our sister site TVNewser reported, a judge has given a partial victory to TV archiving and streaming site TVEyes.

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled the site’s keyword search function falls under fair use doctrine after FOX sued the site last year.

A Fox News spokesperson says the network will fight on: “The Court expressly said that it required more information to decide whether TVEyes’ other features — including allowing video clips to be archived, downloaded, emailed, and shared via social media — were fair use.”

The Court has called for another hearing on that part of the case on October 3. Mediabistro sites TVNewser and TVSpy use TVEyes extensively.
