In November 2007, the Israeli [[Knesset]] passed a new copyright law that included a U.S.-style fair use exception. The law, which took effect in May 2008, permits the fair use of copyrighted works for purposes such as private study, research, criticism, review, news reporting, quotation, or instruction or testing by an educational institution. The law sets up four factors, similar to the U.S. fair use factors (see above), for determining whether a use is fair.<ref name=BandIsrael>{{cite news|last1=Band|first1=Jonathan|title=Israel now has the right copyright law|url=http://fr.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1206446110027&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull|access-date=November 16, 2015|work=The Jerusalem Post|date=March 26, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120128161746/http://fr.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1206446110027&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull|archive-date=January 28, 2012}}</ref>

The court also ruled that streaming of live soccer games on the Internet is fair use. In doing so, the court analyzed the four fair use factors adopted in 2007 and cited U.S. case law, including ''[[Kelly v. Arriba Soft Corp.]]'' and ''[[Perfect 10, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc.]]''.<ref name=Lichtenstein>{{cite web|last1=Lichtenstein|first1=Yoram|title=Israeli Judge Permits Unlicensed Sports Event Streaming—FAPL v.
