I read this to say that “sky” can legally, bound by the copyright and contractual laws of the UK law, restrict the movement of their content…

he has not written about the section in 89/552/eec subsection 2 b 5 covering broadcasters copyright permission in the eu, which allows the broadcasters to restrict viewing cards and reception of channels.
