Court order bans online messages inciting violence
RTHK, 31-Oct-2019
This is getting silly. It is already illegal under common law to incite a crime. The penalty is the same as the underlying crime itself. What is needed is an injunction against people applying for injunctions against crimes. This follows an application 3 days ago by TVB for an injunction against people attacking its staff or property, both of which are offences already.

Decision on shareholdings of TVB (0511)
HK Communications Authority, 27-Sep-2019
In amazing legal contortions, the CA revokes its 2015 and 2016 approvals but issues new approvals based on new, unpublished "deeds of undertaking" and "statutory declarations" that although Dr Chan does not control the majority of the board of YHL, there is an "understanding and practice… that he would lead the YHL Board in relation to how votes in TVB were to be exercised". Therefore, mainland firm CMC and Mr Li Ruigang are not voting controllers of TVB, despite various rights in a "Relationship Agreement" that was not disclosed earlier. The decision follows a referral by the SFC.

What a saga - over 4 years of proceedings, 2 acquittals, and it ain't quite over yet. Poon Siu Tung is Chief Judge of the District Court, by the way.

TV licensing in HK: what a mess
HK Government, 11-Jan-2012
Unlike cellphone networks, TV stations don't have to bid for their radio spectrum, and can squat on it with only cursory reviews. The Chief Executive of HK decides who should be allowed to broadcast. Let the market decide instead.

Lights, camera...budget!
We look at the recent history of HK Government intervention in the movie industry, the land grants involved, and the proposal to throw HK$300m of public money into private movie production. We urge LegCo to cut this scene from Hong Kong's script. Tell them what you think in our opinion poll. (9-Mar-2007)

Vampire bites TVB
At TVB's AGM last week, despite the foreign ownership restrictions which made it difficult to vote, investors voted against the general general issue mandate by an estimated margin of 80% to 20%, the 7th index win for Project Vampire. (4-Jun-2003)

TVB voting advice
Due to an outdated law on broadcasters, TVB is the only company with foreign ownership restrictions on its HK-listed shares, which makes voting incredibly complicated. Still, we'll give it a try, and recommend investors vote against the re-election of an INED and of course, against the issue mandate. This is the 18th meeting in Project Poll. (19-May-2003)
