Premier League and Pubs

Pub landlady Karen Murphy has won her fight in the high court in London with the Premier League. Stand back or get trampled in the rush as pubs and clubs all over the country switch from sky to other providers.

It will cost the premier league and sky a small fortune

Tha last bit could prove a stumbling block though, and the case will not stop here.

But it did offer some comfort for the Premier League, which receives vast sums through its exclusive broadcasting deals with Sky and ESPN.

The European court said that while live matches were not protected by copyright, any surrounding media, such as any opening video sequence, the Premier League anthem, pre-recorded films showing highlights of recent Premier League matches and various graphics, were "works" protected by copyright.

To use any of these extra parts associated for a broadcast, a pub would need the permission of the Premier League.

She wont win in the end im afraid. Sky & The Premier League have too much money tied up to allow this to happen.

Rules will be changed & copyrighted footage will appear on any transmission.
It isnt the case anymore where a game is screened without any diverstity from the main camera angle from the stand.

Now what Sky really want is 3pm Saturday live Premier games or rather just show Man U, Liverpool. ManCity Aresnal & Chelsea live every Saturday pm. After all whos really intersted in Bolton Everton & Fulham
