I think Khun Songdej misses one crucial point here: Thai consumers are entitled to watch Euro 2012 on any platform of free TV, period. Thus, it’s the duty of free TV channels, not True Visions, to deliver the content, just as they would broadcast any other programme. Otherwise, requiring True to contact Grammy to obtain rights would mean hundreds of local cable operators would be required to contact Grammy for the same rights, which would be totally ludicrous.
By the way, I’m no fan of True Visions either, for I “unsubscribed” my then-UBC membership a year after I arrived in this country.
