Abstract

In Football Association Premier League v QC Leisure, a dispute arose regarding the supply of (genuine) Greek satellite decoder cards to pubs and bars in the UK. The Football Association Premier League grants exclusive territorial licenses to broadcasters in different Member States. In the UK, the exclusive licensee is Sky and in Greece it is Nova, and the subscription fees charged by these broadcasters vary by thousands of pounds. In this case, Greek satellite decoder cards, which cost considerably less, were used by the operators of UK premises to receive live broadcasts of English Premier League football matches from satellite channels outside the UK (ie from Greece).
