By the way, the companies have a legal duty to protect the stream from illegal usage and can be liable if they do not.
There was always going to be a problem, but the whole Pub vs. Sky over football is what originally kicked it off so strongly. Satellite broadcasting broke all geographic boundaries which were previously only an issue for a bit of France and the odd channel island.
I have similar issues with the US, but allegedly torrents are the ready solution to that. The NFL, for example, is verging on the impossible to watch legally with decent commentary.
Digital copying forced the music industry to get a life. The video industry will get there eventually. Live sports though, that might be a while.
