Fundamentally the league aren't providing a product. As Mr K states Sky (and Virgin) subscribers are taking advantage and reducing their subscriptions accordingly.
The Premier League is a £150m a month product to Sky/BT - there's no reason why they should get squeezed in the middle between a public who doesn't want to pay and a league demanding payment.
