DUTCH COURT BAN

[BIZ: Dublin July 29]
Ryanair has welcomed a landmark victory in the Dutch (Utrecht) Courts which ruled that copying flight information from Ryanair’s website for the purpose of reselling flights by Internet reseller Wegolo was unlawful.

The Dutch court ruled that the extraction of flight data from Ryanair’s website breached Ryanair’s rights under Dutch Copyright law. It also found that Wegolo can have a negative impact on Ryanair's website and damage Ryanair's reputation for offering the lowest fares in Europe. Wegolo must now surrender profits made from their unlicensed and unlawful activity to Ryanair and pay Ryanair damages and costs. Wegolo is banned from extracting information from Ryanair’s website for the purpose of selling Ryanair’s flights.
