A U.K. court overturned the conviction of a pub manager from Portsmouth who used a Greek decoder card to show English Premier League soccer matches.
The ruling by a High Court judge in London in Karen Murphy’s favor follows a similar decision by a European Union court last year. The court ruling still gives the League the right to prevent the unauthorized use of its copyrights by bars and clubs, the League said in an e-mailed statement today.
