MEP Warns Paywalled Sport And Unfair Contracts Are Fuelling "Dodgy Boxes"
Published 1 month ago
Description
Independent MEP for Ireland South, Michael McNamara is warning that rising costs and paywalled sport are driving more people towards so-called dodgy boxes, with an estimated one in five people in Ireland now using them.
While acknowledging piracy is a serious issue, he says broadcasters and unfair subscription practices share the blame — and he’s opposed to any move to fine users.
To discuss this further, Michael spoke with Alan Morrissey on Monday's Morning Focus.
