Lawsuit against sports club fails – diepresse.com
Kicker looked at the German Bundesliga in the club canteen. The station's complaint fails because the reproduction was not public.
It was an autumn day on which championship games took place on the creation of a sports club. Then they spontaneously decided to sit together in the club. Ten to 15 people, players of the association plus relatives, came together here. One player had the idea of connecting his laptop to the television apparatus in the club restaurant so that everyone could watch the German Bundesliga. The man had a private subscription to the Pay TV station who has the Bundesliga rights.
But then a stranger should enter the club restaurant. The groundsman asked him what he was doing here. He was a talent scout for footballers, said the man, who just wanted to check whether someone shows games of the pay TV station without permission. The stranger asked where you could eat and drink here. The tap operation has already been discontinued, said the square. But because the gentleman did not seem unappealing, the square keeper brought him a beer from the machine that the visitor drank in the foyer of the club restaurant. Time enough for the 007 under the talent scouts to view the TV transmission. And so a dispute began that ended in front of the Supreme Court (OGH).
