The Australian Federal Court recently decided a lawsuit involving radio stations simulcasting their broadcasts via the Internet.
"A broadcasting service is the delivery, in a particular manner, of a radio program, consisting of matter intended to entertain, educate or inform. Thus the delivery of the radio program by transmission from a terrestrial transmitter is a different broadcasting service from the delivery of the same radio program using the internet."
