Statement Regarding Southern District Court of New York Ruling
February 22nd, 2011

Seattle (February 22, 2011) ­ ivi TV today issued a statement regarding the ruling from the Southern District Court of New York. Quote attributable to Todd Weaver, CEO "This fight is for the people and their right to choice and control over their own entertainment -- and it will continue. The oppressive big media networks must open their doors to innovators or they will inevitably fall. People want responsible choice, not the one-size-fits-all television offerings imposed by powerful media interests. Specifically, regarding today's development, Judge Buchwald's opinion is premised on her statement that ivi is `not complying with the rules and regulations of the FCC'. This conclusion is simply false, as ivi has met with all the commisioner's offices of the FCC repeatedly and have never heard anything from them about being in violation of any rule or regulation. Judge Buchwald makes the legal mistake of misinterpreting the copyright law to instead make communications policy. Communications policy is the province of the FCC and, by basing a judicial copyright decision on communications regulations to be administered by the FCC, the judge is overstepping her constitutional authority. ivi will appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, will explore Congressional and Administrative solutions, and will continue to advance the public's interest in a balanced reading of the Copyright Law. During the pendency of the appeal, ivi will continue to operate, will fight to `win the future', and will fight to provide consumers with meaningful choice at a reasonable price." Our message to our faithful users sums it up best: A notice to all ivi TV subscribers and interested parties. As you may be aware we have been in a fight to provide affordable Cable TV for the Internet. Today the Southern District Court of New York granted a preliminary injunction in the case 1:10-cv-07415-NRB. We will be appealing the decision in the second circuit but in the interim we must shut-down most of our broadcast channel offerings. We believe the court made an error in the ruling and will be appealing the decision supported by many public interest groups. But we cannot do it alone. In return, we ask that you support them.

Daytona 500, on Fox Sunday, February 20, at 12:00 noon EST Watch the premier event on the NASCAR schedule. It's the Super Bowl of auto racing! The race marks the 10th anniversary of Dale Earnhardt's untimely death on the course of the race that defined his career. In a touching homage to his legendary father, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. actually won the pole for the Daytona 500 during qualifying. Unfortunately, a mid-week crash means that Junior will have to win the race from the back of the pack. Junior is trying to do something his father never did and win a second Daytona 500. Watch Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, and the whole Sprint Cup field at the legendary Daytona International Speedway. Strangely, the last three winners of the race, Ryan Newman in 2008, Matt Kenseth in 2009 and Jamie McMurray last year, failed to make the season-ending Sprint Cup Chase after winning the Daytona 500. But here's betting the winner of this year's race won't be worrying about any silly Chase curse. Because they'll be on the podium with the most prestigious trophy in racing.
