I got every Premier League, Champions League, domestic cup, La Liga, Serie A and a rake of other leagues, plus the rugby (including all Heineken Cup, Internationals and some Pro14) and plenty of other sports for a $14 a month addon when I was in Singapore.
It's fecking ridiculous that you can get better coverage on the other side of the world than you can within the UK. Also, why are we Irish lumped in with the Brits. We're not going to fly over to attend your lower leagues and the closeness/piracy argument doesn't fly when we are geoblocked from so much UK content anyway.
Until they offer value and accessibility, people will pirate. The bad guys are simply offering a better service.
