RE: Murphy loses landmark foreign satellite case

I will happily retract it if the appeal with EU law is successful. I spoke to an old friend who put me in touch with a lawyer in Newcastle who owns his own pub and has taken a special interest in this case and he seems to think (and this is a qualified legal opinion!) that the case has too far-ranging implications and will be dismissed.

P.S I didn't pull your post Craig and don't understand why anyone has.

European market or not

Seems to me only if the big wigs are losing out on our hard earned cash we are not.

If there is no money to be gained its ok to be in the european market.

I  cannot understand for the life of me what the problem is using foreign satelitte cards

as long as they are of the commercial type and the taxes have been paid to that country

put it this way if I was to buy (british made ciggerettes) in europe for half the price and smoke

them in the UK am I breaking the law I think not.

or if I buy a music cd( for the non smokers out there) and play it at home I still dont believe I

 am breaking the law. yet if I screen a game from a foreign satellite I am .work that one out.

looks to me that Sky  are losing out on

 a few quid  and spitting out the dummy.

This trade is hard enough as it is between the goverment, local councils and Sky who all want a piece of the cake and leave us with the crumbs

I thought that being in the EU  we were on a level playing field with our overseas competitors

 but Sky dont seem to understand this.
