Shock! Taxi firm "operates taxis" say Judges

This amazing headline will have lawyers scratching their wigs in bafflement as they haul down musty old books and pore over long dead court cases to determine if anything more blindingly obvious has ever been the subject of a prolonged judicial review. The top judges in Europe have decided that if you book a taxi using an app then the people you make the booking with are running a taxi service. Naturally the decision is contested by the lawyers for said taxi firm. Just as naturally they are American. These guys would go to court claiming copyright over the use of the word "copyright" if they thought they could get away with it.

And in other news ....
  • Sky is that bit of stuff over our heads, say boffins
  • Football ruled eligible as a "sport" by Dept of Culture
  • Supermarkets are retailers of food, not packaging and price information intermediaries, a tribunal rules.
  • A kiss is still a kiss (Sam)
