Judge Issues TRO In Ad Skipping Case

District Court Judge Laura Swain will take up the litigation in a few weeks when she hears more motions in the case pitting Dish Networks against Fox, and the related suits brought by Fox and other networks in California against Dish. More here (with analysis) from the Hollywood Reporter, here from L. A. Times.
