On 23 April 2010, the High Court in  Football Dataco Limited and others v. Brittens Pools  Limited and others [1] handed down a judgment in favour of  the Football Association Premier League Limited and the  Scottish Premier League Limited in their efforts to protect  the fixture lists for the English and Scottish football  premier leagues and football leagues.  The decision  provides guidance as to what rights may subsist in  databases, with the result that commercial users of  football fixture lists will now have to pay for a licence.},
