Vivendi fights against Mediaset complaint
Vivendi has taken a further step against Mediaset with court action to ensure it can vote against Mediaset’s plans to create a pan-European business, Reuters has reported. 

The Italian broadcaster, who has been in a long-running war with shareholder Vivendi, last week filed a complaint against the French media conglomerate accusing it of leaking information undermining its corporate restructuring plans. 

Vivendi has responded by petitioning a Milan court to issue an order allowing it to attend and vote at Mediaset’s special shareholders meeting on 4 September.

Foxtel obtains injunction against torrent sites
The Federal Court in Australia has provided media company Foxtel with a ‘dynamic’ injunction, which allows rightsholders to have pirate sites blocked by ISPs, TorrentFreak reported. 

The injunction targets a number of torrent, proxy and mirror sites that can be amended without the plaintiffs  having to return to court to detail them specifically.
