This is the first time I've seen this thread...perhaps it's because I never venture into forums through the sub-categories and simply use "New Posts" all the time.

Anyway, I've just got to say the policy hasn't been very strict.

No*, but your friend has violated his agreement with Sky and can expect a rap on the knuckles.

Here's a link to live streaming: [I was thinking about putting a rickroll here but decided against it]
