Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5137104, member: 628"] Yep, Fubo brought a suit. Judge just issued an injunction on Friday that prevents Venu from going to market for now. Obviously that will be immediately appealed. Who knows what the timing for a resolution will be. I'm no lawyer, but I do understand Fubo's premise. Among their claims is that the creation of Venu breaks programming covenants that Disney, WBD and Fox mandate with other distributors. Basically, Fubo would like to offer a sports-only package but those 3 companies prevent that by demanding that non-sports networks are carried along with the sports nets. Which of course inflates the cost of Fubo's service. Now those same companies are offering a "sports only" service (not entirely, but mostly) that does not include the vast majority of their non-sports networks. And at a much lower price point. I don't know the law, but I do believe Fubo can make a compelling case. [/QUOTE]
