[QUOTE="easysat, post: 768104, member: 175305"] Looking at the Guardian article, it does seem that Karen Muphy has gained a bigger victory for home sports viewers than pub landlords. BSkyB might also lose out if viewers start buying foreign subscriptions to watch satellite film channels. CanalSatellite film channels are a lot cheaper for example, than UK offerings. However I suppose, the language barrier, unless films are broadcast with multiple languages, and the need to reposition satellite dishes is probably going to be a sufficient deterrent. Later on though, what will happen if the Hollywood studios have to sell European rights to one broadcaster? A last thought, I wonder if this ruling makes it illegal for the BBC to block access to certain online services from non-UK ISP's, even if the services are free to UK viewers? [/QUOTE]
