On 5 February 2013, Mr Justice Newey delivered a detailed judgment in the High Court that provides a clear indication of the limitations on the remedies available for infringement of copyright. Since the decision in Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation and others v David Harris and others [2013] EWHC 159(Ch), we have found ourselves advising on, and have given a lot of thought to, the legal and practical implications of this case. http://www.reedsmith.com/publications/detail.aspx?publication=12279 Publication http://www.reedsmith.com/publications/detail.aspx?publication=12279 Wed, 01 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT
