Well playing the devil's advocate here.

The pubs have had enough warnings over the last 12 months or so that it will not be tolerated, it is copyright infringement and it doesn't matter what the barrack room lawyers say, it is illegal. They are retransmitting/showing programmes to an audience without the relevant copyright, the broadcasters would of course have a real problem pursuing private subscribers as they have bought legitimate subscriptions and are not showing the programmes to an audience.

With regard to Premiership football in Spain, it is down to the Spanish rights holders as to whether they wish to pursue the bars who show Premiership football, not Sky, it is not Sky's local copyright being infringed, but the local providers.
