A private club is still governed by the law and unless you use a SKY subscription which displays the glass on the bottom right of the screen then that is illegal. Installing Digitalb whilst still awaiting the full ruling is deemed to be illegal and puts the whole club at risk. The club will be treated as a club and the executive committee (chairman, vice treasurer, secretary and president) will be responsible for paying any associated fine from club funds. Failure to comply with payment may be handled in different ways, court summons of the executive officers, or bailiffs.
