So in conclusion SKY both won and lost!
That is correct.

Basically Sky won. But not for the reasons they contested. Ofcom was wrong to begin with. Sky had no justification to fight the appeal on the grounds they did. But too many people jumped on the bandwagon and thought Sky had lost, while ignoring the bigger picture and the fact that Sky had nothing to answer in the first place.

It seems a bit silly to me that Sky can be judged to be wrong when they had nothing to answer in the first place!
