    My local pup (in London) has just been taken to court by Sky and fined stg£2000 for having an ROI sub for the GAA. Don’t know how people like me that have an ROI sub in there house outside Ireland stand?

    More than likely it was the Setanta police?

    I expect it is Sky - has the 'Sky' card is being used against the agreed T&C.

    If he has an ROI card in the UK - then he can watch Premiership football - and this is what has given broadcasters victory in high profile court cases before.

    you should be ok as long as you dont go broadcasting to every joe soap in the street that you have a roi card. the only reason that the pub was caught was because sky pay the music rights people to go around and check pubs have the correct card. they are hardly likely gonna check every house in the uk for the correct card.

    They would have got the same fine for using a domestic UK card. Sky issue special cards for businesses and pubs.

    Here is the sky link on business subscriptions:
