From "Variety": German "commercial zapper" ruled legal

Heh heh heh.

“Germany’s Federal Supreme Court on Friday rejected a lawsuit filed by leading commercial web RTL Television, which sought to stop the sale of a device known as the Telefairy that blocks TV commercials.

“…RTL had argued the Telefairy threatened its financial interests, but the court said the device posed no illegal threat to the broadcasters.”

RTL says it’s going to appeal the ruling to Germany’s constitutional court. This should be fun to watch…
