Hong Kong’s internet radio station D100 has agreed to pay damages to public broadcaster RTHK for copyright infringement, reports the Hong Kong Standard.

The web-only broadcaster agreed to pay $77,407(HK$600,000) after it broadcast news programmes without permission.

The paper reports that the two sides settled out of court.

D100 also agreed to stop rebroadcasting RTHK’s Chinese news programmes including Hong Kong Today, news bulletins, financial and traffic news.

The station has also agreed to remove all RTHK copyright works from its computer servers.

Last year, RTHK had filed an injunction against D100, preventing it from transmitting Hong Kong Today, a daily news magazine programme.

D100 founder Albert Cheng King-hon had then criticised the public broadcaster over rebroadcast rights, asking it to put Hong Kong’s interests before any profit motive.
