Opinion and Analysis

An article from the Australian IT quotes Channel 9 representative Arabella Gibson saying: "Any uploading of a Nine television program, including Underbelly, on the internet is an infringement of our copyright and the network opposes it. We take very seriously any order of the court, and we are fully complying with that order. We do not condone any other parties interfering with our rights and, if necessary, we will take legal action."

Channel 9 has decided to appeal the court suppression order, but with the wheels of justice often moving far more slowly than those involved in legal cases would like, it appears to be highly unlikely that Victorians will be able to watch the show on free-to-air TV anytime soon.

Of course this is highly ironic in the face of a large advertising campaign in Melbourne, with local trams plastered with advertisements for the locally unwatchable TV show.

So, any Victorians trying to illegally watch a show about Australia’s most famous crime families of recent times should watch out: the police are watching!
