You've answered your own question there. The reason no one else is bothered is because it's so blatantly obvious that there's no chance it's been missed, and so likely isn't going to be an issue.
It's the same with the ofcom decision, if Sky move premier league games to SS 3 and 4 ofcom can immediately review their decision and add SS 3 and 4 to the must offer obligation without any additional consultation.
VM employ some VERY intelligent people, they know what they're doing. They aren't amateurs in this. If you've spotted a potential pitfall you can bet your life that they will have as well. This isn't a deal that was done over a pint in an evening down the pub, there has been months (maybe even years?) of discussion, consultation, investigation and research into it. You don't sign these deals without covering all your bases.
