It's low though - couple of grand I reckon. Interesting though that ICSTIS accepted Channel 4's admittance of liability for the mess, and didn't blame the service providers. Agree that there should have been a fine.. after all it's money in someones pocket, just as much as it was with the Crazy Frog and Jamster - and they got a rather hefty fine for (IMHO) a lot less wrongdoing.

This really does nothing positive for the industry! It just convinces others that the "earn a million with one hand, get a slap with a silken handkerchief on the other hand" model is a winner!! steve/itagg Sorry Alex but your quote has failed to mention the fact that, whilst they had to pay admin fees to ICSTIS, they were let off paying an actual fine!!!
