-519 None of the target online locations +are a website in the usual sense. Rather, they are online locations from which specific files are downloaded by various applications that run under the Android operating system. The same was true of many of the online locations that were the subject of the blocking orders made in Roadshow 2. THE FACILITATING APPLICATIONS 20 The streaming devices use proprietary Android-based software applications (“the facilitating applications”) to stream live television broadcasts which include cinematograph films the copyright in which is owned by or exclusively licensed to TVB or TVBO. In order for the application to facilitate the streaming of such content, it must first communicate with a facilitating server (“facilitating server”) and engage in an authentication process. After that has occurred, the facilitating applications may be used to download an electronic program guide (“EPG”) made available from another facilitating server which lists the content available for streaming to the streaming device from a different server that stores reproductions of the relevant content (“streaming server”). 21 The facilitating applications allow the user operating the streaming devices to: • view TV, by delivering the TVB television broadcasts via the internet with a delay of between about one and four minutes; • provide a video-on-demand (“VOD”) service in which a range of cinematograph films (both feature films and television series) are made available and which will stream on demand; • replay portions of TVB programs on demand up to 7 days after they have been broadcast. 22 The facilitating applications come preinstalled on some of the streaming devices. For the streaming devices that do not come with them pre-installed, the facilitating applications must be obtained from facilitating servers that make available digital distribution platforms (“the distribution platforms”) for facilitating the download of applications that can be used with the streaming device. These online locations make available the facilitating applications for download allowing them to be installed and/or reinstalled on the streaming devices if deleted or if updated. 23 Each of the facilitating applications is proprietary in the sense that it can only be used with the particular streaming device on which it is designed to operate.
