British Horseracing Board v. William Hill

The British Horseracing Board v. William Hill case involved a dispute over the use of race data. The British Horseracing Board argued that William Hill, a betting company, was using their race information without permission, which they claimed violated copyright laws. The court ruled in favor of the board, emphasizing that the database of race results and information was protected by copyright, and unauthorized use constituted infringement. This case clarified the rights of organizations over their data and set a precedent for how data usage in the betting industry should be governed.
