I got a Taxi home from Glasgow airport last night. The taxi driverwas telling me that VM have shot themself in the foot as most of his fellow taxi drivers that had dodgey boxes are now signing up for Sky.

Not sure how much of a percentage most is but I'd guess that VM would be the winners if even a small percentage of the theives had to start paying for the service.

Overall I'd expect Sky to be the biggest winners. Some of the thieves will be used to Pay TV, and particulary the Premium Sports, so Sky will be getting the subs either way.
