On the one hand the case is an interesting one, raising important issues in copyright law, and one where reasonable minds can differ about aspects of the judgment. Not having taken the appeal from Desktop, the High Court might want to get in on this act. And it's got a certain appeal, being a case with the involvement of leading IP counsel, as well as interesting technology issues in addition to the interesting substantive law issues. On the other hand, one of the judges who've historically been interested in this stuff (ie technology) - namely Kirby - is due to retire in March 2009. And Gleeson retires in August this year. It's transition time in the High Court, so it's a little harder to predict what they might take. And the Court has looked at 'substantial part' recently in the Panel case - do they want to take another case on that issue so soon? I wonder too whether - given the availability of EPG now in some forms, albeit somewhat limited - it will be worthwhile for IceTV to pursue a High Court appeal - another 2 year commitment. I guess we'll see! Don’t know Richard.
