Droit de réponse from Arabsat

PARIS (Reuters) - Arabsat sent Reuters the following response to our article of June 17 headlined "French court sees no 'clear and illegal disruption' in Gulf sports piracy case". Although we do not agree with some of the statements, we are required to publish this text under French law.

"It is untrue to assert, as reuters.com does in its article entitled "French court sees no 'clear and illegal disruption' in Gulf sports piracy case", that "A judgment of 13 June by the Paris Court (...) found that the beoutQ signals were available on the Arabsat frequencies and accessible from French territory, on the basis of the conclusions of a firm retained by beIN".
