The Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters has commented on the World Trade Organization report ruling that Saudi Arabia was behind pirate satellite TV beoutQ. The station illegally broadcast sporting events, including Premier League games, and WTO’s 125-page document says there is enough comprehensive evidence that beoutQ was promoted and supported by Saud. It also ruled that the Kingdom is in breach of their obligations under international law, and Masters has reacted thus:
“We take piracy very seriously. We stand by what we said in the past. In relation to takeovers, I can’t say anything about the substance or timing.
