Spanish TV stations square off over soap opera rights
The nation's two biggest Spanish-language broadcasters are set to square off in Los Angeles federal court this morning over Internet rights to Mexican-produced soap operas. The litigation between Mexican media giant Grupo Televisa and Los Angeles-based Spanish-language broadcaster Univision Communications is linked to Televisa's original 2005 breach of contract lawsuit. That complaint was settled in January in mid-trial with an agreement that includes revised royalty calculations, resulting in increased payments to Televisa in exchange for incremental rights for Univision.
In what's expected to be a four-day bench trial, U.S. District Judge Philip S. Gutierrez will decide whether Televisa has the right to use the Internet to broadcast its programs from Mexico. The company's soap operas have a large Internet following, even though they are not officially broadcast on the Web. It's been reported that pirated episodes of Televisa's "telenovelas" are among the most-watched television shows on YouTube.
