You’re introducing emotive terminology, baselessly, to portray the status quo as bad and streaming as good. I don’t really understand why you relentlessly pursue this agenda on the forum. I’m sure I’m not the only one who finds it somewhat tiresome.
Sky charge “sky high” prices and could reduce the price to make it more accessible. Amazon, of course, will. Baseless nonsense, and I’m sure a free market capitalist such as yourself must see that such a theory is not on solid economic grounds.
Unless of course you don’t think the pay-tv market has sufficient competition and would support Government intervention and further regulation. While I’d welcome it, I don’t see how that benefits the consumer to tie one hand behind the back of Sky/BT to hand the rights to Amazon on the cheap. Indeed, it’d be bad for the League, quality of their product, and all that jazz.

I quite agree.
Additionally, several times in the past couple of years I have purchased something through Amazon. Every time I have declined the Prime option, but every time apart from the most recent I have very quickly received an e-mail welcoming me to prime.
Several points,
1) if I purchased enough off the internet I might take prime
2) are they really allowed to retain my card details and sign me up using that card?
3) I definitely haven't given them permission to do so
4) they obviously do this because the last time I bought something through them, they didn't even ask for my card details!
5) how do I get them to remove my card details?
