Meltwater’s four-year battle with the Copyright Agency has been resolved, with The Copyright Tribunal today ruling that it has accepted the Copyright License proposal put forward by Meltwater almost in its entirety.

The Tribunal soundly rejected the proposed license structure from The Copyright Agency. Instead, it accepted in full the offer proposed by Meltwater, as well as ruling that Meltwater is now able to enjoy an expanded set of rights regarding the use and distribution of the content across Asia Pacific. This includes the expansion of the library of content from six to 12 month and the extension of the license term to four years.
