To go a little off-topic for a moment, what's more sickening about the way Sky do business is when they go after pubs who have found a cheaper way to get sports coverage by going through the EU, such as with the case of one here in Portsmouth who probably couldn't afford decent football coverage otherwise. Thankfully the landlady won out, but most people/businesses wouldn't fight tooth and nail as she has done.

If people continue to pay through the nose and still get adverts, it'll never change. The sort of person who will spend £60-100 on a poor-quality acrylic shirt just because it is the season strip for their club are exactly the kind who pay £200+ or whatever for a monthly multi-box Sky subscription with all the trimmings and never use most of it anyway.
