If Sky are ripping people off and they feel they're being ripped off no-one's forcing them to pay for Sky Movies. If you aren't happy with the price of the product don't pay it. If others feel Sky are profiteering excessively there's nothing stopping them from paying for content just as Sky do and charging slightly less. if there's so much profit there there should be plenty of scope to undercut. That's how things used to work anyway.

Regardless as I said if regulation is felt necessary so be it, so long as it is applied fairly which imho it isn't. YMMV.
But the point is, there isn't the choice for the customer and therefore we have to pay - whatever Sky decide to charge. That's what they are trying to stop - overcharging for a service only they can supply.
