[QUOTE="davemurgtroyd, post: 778758, member: 319227"] The cases have been dropped because it is a matter of civil law and not criminal law. There is no penalty under criminal law per se but penalties could be applicable under civil law and the least would be termination of the service with no recompense. However if civil action in court was taken and succesful against the landlords particularly for copyright issues then there could also be objections to those landlords licenses as not being a fit person having shown their contempt for civil law. I am not saying this will happen but merely what is possible by the EPL and others against landlords who flaunt contract law. Again the "offense" at present is not a matter of criminal law. There is nothing whatsoever illegal about a contract stipulating how and where a service can be used. The only difference that could happen on Dec 16th would be that breaches of contracts could be made a criminal offence (which I think highly unlikely) or that breaches of copyright could be made a criminal offence instead of civil law at present. Again probably because at present it is not a criminal offense Agreed it is not down to EPL/FA but a broadcaster can legally decide where and to whom he sells his service and if people fraudulently enter into contracts (via agents or themselves giving false addresses) then they can completely legally remove access to that service. The recent ruling has not forced them to sell to anyone in the EU but merely clarified that it is legal for them to do so if they wish. [/QUOTE]
