Sky TV argues Fairfax 'effectively stole' Olympics footageLAWRENCE SMITH/FAIRFAX NZA High Court attempt by Sky TV to stop the way Fairfax Media uses its Olympics coverage has ended with Fairfax arguing there is public interest in the court refusing to grant the request. Sky TV lawyer Julian Miles QC claimed Fairfax exploited Sky footage for its own commercial gain. Lawyers for Fairfax say there is "nothing outrageous" about its use of Sky's Olympics footage, while Sky TV argues that Fairfax was "effectively stealing" Sky's material under the guise of fair use. Sky TV filed an application for an interim injunction over Fairfax's use of Olympic Games videos on Fairfax-owned website Stuff.
