This is going to be appealed to hell. Presumably there will be an injunction to stop anyone buying a eurobox.

If ultimately upheld then it is massive.

Downside to us would be more Saturday 3pm KOs being shown while we are playing.

Murdoch won't go down without a fight. I suspect he'll do what all corporations do; lobby the EU up to the hilt with plenty of cash and get the law changed.

However, the ECJ did add that while live matches were not protected by copyright, any surrounding media, such as any opening video sequence, the Premier League anthem, pre-recorded films showing highlights of recent Premier League matches and various graphics, were "works" protected by copyright.

To use any of these extra parts associated of a broadcast, a pub would need the permission of the Premier League.

It remains to be seen whether pubs could broadcast match action without using any of these Premier League "extras" and thus breaching the league's copyright

There is talk that the rights to PL games from 2013 will be sold Europe-wide to get round this ruling, and they will ensure that no games will be shown throughout Europe at 3pm on a Saturday.

It's the obvious step for them, along with making sure they include enough copyrighted material to ensure that the few 3pm games that do go ahead, can't be shown "in public" (ie, Otwanswell boozer).

Because the PL sells the rights on a national basis, which the Euro court has said shouldn't inhibit an individual from purchasing a better deal from outside their home country. By selling the rights on an EU basis (albeit a potentially slightly reduced fee from UK broadcasters and an increased fee from continental broadcaster to balance out the books), The PL comply with the EU laws.  This doesn't affect public broadcasts (Pubs etc) and only applies top private individuals
