Replying To CeachtPeile:  "That's a flimsy excuse. Saying it's fine because they wouldn't have paid anyway is like saying shoplifting doesn't matter if you weren't going to buy the item. It's still theft.
Piracy devalues the GAA's broadcast rights, cuts advertising and sponsor revenue, and so inevitably hurts clubs. It's not harmless - it's freeloading that undermines the whole system."
Do you think the TV licence is ethical?

your missing my point completely.. Could have had it all with tv3 or even a separate channel... guaranteed sponsorship with all the games would have surpassed any subscription fee (especially when its crap)

I was referring to the top level games so I was excluding the Tailteann Cup stuff. I forgot about the Limerick game being on TV first on Sat.
