There seems to be a glitch with Spotify, I added the 3 months free which was due to expire on 12/11/2013, still on Premium today and when I phoned up to ask about it he said that the system had applied a Lifetime premium subscription by mistake and they couldn't withdraw it.

I can see where you are coming from but there are more Sky Subscribers in the UK than there are people who have access to the service. And over here around half a million want access to these shows.
If they were to launch themselves then they would probably have a linear channel as well. But they also love the Sky Atlantic withheld deal because everybody who doesn't have access "most likely" purchases them on DVD and. BluRay with all the money going to them.
However since Atlantic, piracy of HBO shows has increased and this means they may be looking to monotise the people who currently don't have access.
