Not quite, Steeljack. if your house is a public one and you happen to have a license to sell intoxicating liqour and you then decide to relay a Sky TV footy match down into the public bar without a seperate payment to the aforementioned, then you are suject to a fine of £5000pds and/or a term of imprisonment. Alternatively - and despite this country being a member of the so called EU - if you decide to tune in to one of the European Sky-linked channels to receive the game, you are also subject to the same penalty.
