Monopoly: It is not just "LaLiga" who stands to lose money, it is Telefonica/Movistar which is the only owner of most of sports right in Spain, and they know they can set the price they want because + Most people are not savy enough to pirate/are unwilling to do it for fear. + The more fear they instil, the keener those people are to pay. + Most bars where it is available will rise prices to sustain their loss. It starts at 300Eu/(month screen) (notice the product in the denominator), and having. + Woe to you if you own a bar and the police get you pirating. Woe indeed, the fine will be unimaginable... Monopoly does this to the markets. Movistar (Telefonica) is the de-facto owner of high-stakes sports in Spain. This means Football (Spanish league, Champions League), Tennis (all the Masters and Grand Slams), Basketball, you name it. They are also the main telco in Spain, so they own the service and the channel. | ||
