Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport
General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Mark Scanlon:
We have been working together with Sky and other providers, as have our colleagues in Premier Sports, to try to bring that message home and make our submissions on piracy. As regards the end user perspective, we have tried to hammer home that point as well because, at present, the prosecution takes too long by the time it gets to the end service, with the piracy continuing in the meantime. It is taking too long to shut down the services that are there and we do not feel that the legislation is strong enough to stop the rip-off of our copyright.
