HC ruling puts paid to illegal Nat West series cricket final telecast

It‘s taking time but it‘s happening. A legal framework for dealing with the rampant pirating of cable signals is slowly falling into place.

Thursday‘s Delhi High Court ruling restraining as many as 27 cable operators and networks across the country from unauthorised telecast of today‘s Nat West Series final between India and England (Sri Lanka was earlier eliminated from the cricket triangular) marks the widening of the scope as far as efforts to stop piracy is concerned.

The strictures apply to cable operators across six states - Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Haryana.
