As it becomes more mainstream the VOD rights become more lucrative and Sky have more competition. So either Sky make some money from this or they get beaten to the rights by someone ho can make money from them.
But either way competitive forces eventually prevail. Thats how the market should work and not through meddling by Ofcom.

If you believe there is a proper market in pay tv in the uk in the first place,i for instance cannot get sky,thousands csannot get VM possibly millions,BT vision will not work where i live as ADSL only delivers a max of 2MB,some might call ofcom a meddler but to me ofcom are trying to even the situation out to try and benefit the person whose often least thought about whilst sky et al slog it out,yes thats right the consumer what a novel thought.
The "market" such as it is cannot work when you have one ultra dominent player with the financial clout to overpay or at least outbid most others due to its sheer financial clout as is the case here.
