oldtype Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 The thing is Sky have shot themselves in the foot. It's their high prices the charge to pub that has put pub landlord/landladies into the arms of foreign channels. Had they have charged a reasonable price then this would never have happened. No pub can really afford to pay the price for Sky, unless every pint was £5 and the pub was packed out all day not just during one game. Spot on. Same with illegal streams of games from abroad. If there was a decent quality and reasonably-priced way to watch your club's games when you can't attend, it wouldn't be so much of a problem. As with the music and film industries, the football industry just hasn't moved fast enough to supply people with what they want at a decent price. Jesus Christ yes. This is the twenty-first century and I should not have to be scouring the interweb for illegal streams with rat's ass picture quality just to watch Newcastle play whoever. I have no compunction about stealing from people who are too stupid to properly exploit their product. I would buy it if you sold it you stupid cunts.

madras Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Now legal... Let's see how much Sky pay now... Yep could change football massively, cant see sky paying what they pay now. or they buy the rights exclusivly and use the new ruling to become the sole provider to the whole of europe ? my own personal hope is that football and sky take a hit in the pocket as it could well lead to a leveling out in terms of the massive disparities in club football, which at the moment is set up purely to maintain the status quo (the champs league, for example, couldn't be better designed to help the big get bigger at the expense of all others).

madras Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 also, it's not technically legal yet. the euro court has ruled in favour it was only in response to the ik high court asking for guidance. i wouldn't put it past the uk courts to still find against under political pressure from rupert and friends.

Pav Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hope this results in a lot less money to teams and an end to skys monopoly.

I mean Man City/Chelsea would still be able to do what they do without the tv revenue? In terms of how this will affect teams I have no idea, in fact I don't think anyone has to be honest. This ruling has potential though, and whilst you're right in saying it won't mean much for the likes of Chelsea, but hopefully it could end up being good in the long term. Not only that but anything that's sticking it to those cunts at Sky is fine by me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I wonder how many foreign TV providers are now planning to aggressively push their products into the UK market? I know they're available now, but they're still pretty underground. Would like a clearer and simpler way to buy a foreign satellite system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRL Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Likely option is Sky (or the Premier League itself) would buy all European rights then sub-license through Europe, but they would do this based on selectively choosing those countries where interest is high enough that they can drive a higher price and thus there's less risk of them then selling decoders, etc. back to the UK cheaply.
