Questão jurídica principal
Whether BBC could sue directly to prohibit cable retransmission of its broadcasts.
Decisão extraída
Broadcasting organizations cannot assert the retransmission prohibition directly; the right must be exercised through a collecting society.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 37 and 38 URG, read with Art. 22 URG, require collective exercise of the retransmission prohibition; no statutory exception exists for broadcasters.
