The first brick removed from the wall

BBC News - Premier League TV football choice 'upheld' by EU advice

I wonder how long before holders of media rights realise that in the modern, connected world of the internet that such parochial stances such as restricting viewing to a specific jurisdiction is as out of date as telex machines. I am all in favour of people being paid for creative and original content, but it is about time that the system became "smart" enough to be delivery system and jurisdiction agnostic and just deliver universal access with appropriate remuneration to the rights owner.
