Dunedin businessman Sir Ian Taylor has pulled his company Animation Research Ltd’s Virtual Eye Live AR feature for today’s Prada Cup event. Sir Russell threatened court action if the graphics were used in broadcasting the 36th America's Cup. Sir Ian said Sir Russell’s companies were asserting copyright based on imagery ARL created in 1992 and which had been used in every America’s Cup since.
