Advice on definition of a broadcaster
David Farrar made this Official Information request to Crown Law Office
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for David Farrar to read a recent response and update the status.
From: David Farrar
Dear Crown Law Office,
Under the OIA I would like to request any communication between Crown Law and the Broadcasting Standards Authority around whether a person who publishes audio and video over the Internet can be regarded as a broadcaster under the Broadcastings Act 1989.
If there is such advice, and it is legally privileged, I would still like to know whether such advice was sought and given, even if the actual advice can't be provided.
Yours faithfully,
David Farrar
From: OIA
Crown Law Office
