>To use any of these extra parts [chrome, trails, reviews, etc.] associated for a broadcast, a pub would need the permission of the Premier League. //

That's an interesting statement. Presumably though the Premier League licenses their feeds to multiple companies in different countries - shouldn't that exhaust their rights then; meaning a pub could sub-license from a foreign country within the EEA. Otherwise they're perverting free trade within the EEA.




There are actually talks within European Commision to make such country-based licensing illegal, i.e. it must be EU wide licensing, citing, as noted above, the free trade within the EEA.
