Premier League goes after 'illegal' distributors

摘要

The FA Premier League is preparing to pros-ecute UK distributors of decoding equipment for certain foreign channels in a bid to prevent the "illegal" broadcast of live Premiership matches in pubs and clubs. The league said this week that it has written to about 20 distributors and is expecting to conduct a series of raids, in conjunction with the police, to gather evidence. "In the course of taking legal action against publicans, we acquired a list of distributors that are supplying foreign satellite equipment in the UK," the league said.
