FA Premier League - most live 3pm kickoff removed from foreign satellite tv services

Further to http://costablancasatellite.blogspot.com/2012/03/fa-premier-league-restricting-3pm.html it appears the FA is taking even more action aginst the use of foreign subscriptions showing live English Premier League football.

It now appears that most EU broadcasters are now being restricted to just one LIVE 3pm kick off.

A number of servics, live Viasat and Digital+ (Spain), used to show a number of the 3pm kick offs of the Premier League live. However, it now looks like these broadcasters will be restricted to broadcasting a single 3pm kick off.

The affects only EU broadcsaters.

ADMC Sport, which has the Middle East rights to all 380 premier legaue games, should be unaffected by this.

FA Premier League - restricting 3pm kickoff on foreign satellite tv services

Further to
http://costablancasatellite.blogspot.com/2012/02/pub-landlady-karen-murphy-wins-tv.html, the FA has started to impliment measures to try and curb UK pubs showing 3pm kickoffs using foreign satellite decocers and subscriptions.

Although the recent EU rulings suggest that he matches themselves are not covered by copyright, and graphic or music played during the match is protected by FA copyright. Any pub showing these graphics and music will be in breach of FA copyright and liable to prosection.

And to further this, the FA have now placed a FA English Premier League watermark on the screen.

So any pubs in the UK that are showing this logo, being used on foreign satellite tv broadcasts, will be in breach of FA copyright and liable to prosecution.

Of course the pub can "expand" the screen or even place a postit note over the offending areas!

But a UK newspaper (not owned by News Corp!) suggests what I suggested a few days ago.

The EU, based on the verdict in a few months time by the ECJ, has a simple choice. Sell TV rights on a country-by-country basis, or a pan-European basis.

It could be that thre European court opts to creating a single, pan-European market for TV rights deals in the future.

And who is the most powerful pay-TV broadcaster across Europe? Could it be News Corporation/Sky, that has Sky Germany and Sky Italia as well as Sky UK.

If you want a comparison, look at how concentrated the US media market is – a single market dominated by a handful of integrated media groups, Disney, Time Warner, News Corp and all.

It is easy to forget that this issues is about ALL media rights, from books to films.
