A U.S. Supreme Court decision on whether to accept cert on broadcasters’ case against Aereo will likely be announced Jan. 13, said a blog post on the Fletcher Heald website (http://bit.ly/1eYALs4). Though the matter is listed on the Supreme Court website as set for conference Jan. 10, the results of such conferences are typically announced on the next available court date, said Fletcher Heald appellate attorney Harry Cole in an email. The next court date following the conference is Jan. 13. Broadcasters want the Supreme Court to overturn the decision of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals not to grant a preliminary injunction against Aereo’s streaming TV service. The cert petition was distributed to the justices on Dec. 24. Four justices would have to vote in favor of taking the case for cert to be granted, said Cole. “We don’t know for sure that all nine Justices will participate, since one or more recusals are always possible,” said Cole in the blog post.

Growing demand for digital services gave the U.K. entertainment content sector a lift in 2013 as total sales of interactive games, music and video, including digital and physical content, grew 4 percent to 5.3 billion pounds ($8.7 billion at $1 = 0.61 pounds), the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA) said. “Fast-growing” services including Netflix, Spotify and Steam allowed the sector to achieve what will likely be the strongest result since 2009, it said, citing preliminary year-end data.

The U.S. Supreme Court will consider whether to grant cert on broadcasters’ case seeking an injunction against Aereo during a conference on Jan. 10, according to the court’s website (http://1.usa.gov/19EQqoS). The broadcasters asked the high court to overturn the decision of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals not to grant a preliminary injunction against Aereo’s streaming TV service (CD Oct 15 p15). In December, Aereo filed a response supporting the broadcasters’ request for the court to take up the matter (CD Dec 13 p10). “We want this resolved on the merits rather than through a wasteful war of attrition,” said Aereo in a release. The cert petition was distributed to the justices on Dec. 24, said the court website.

The Commerce Department published notices in the Dec. 31 Federal Register on the following AD/CV duty proceedings (any notices that announce changes to AD/CV duty rates, scope, affected firms, or effective dates will be detailed in another ITT article):
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on pure magnesium from China (A-570-832). The AD duty rate Commerce calculated for Tianjin Magnesium Metal Co., Ltd. and Tianjin Magnesium International Co., Ltd. fell from a 339.6% preliminary rate to a zero final AD rate after the agency decided not to rely on adverse facts available. Commerce will direct CBP to liquidate period of review entries of subject merchandise from TMM/TMI without regard to AD duties, and will not collect a cash deposit on future entries of subject merchandise exported by TMM/TMI until further notice. The new rate is effective Jan. 2, and will be implemented by CBP soon.
