The number one argument I hear back from people whenever I get into it or whenever I'm researching this stuff and I'm talking to people who use dodgy boxes, it's always the same argument.

You know, Sky pays too much for Premier League rights.

That's not my problem.

You know, these are... I'm subsidising massive corporate interests and otherwise I'd have to pay €100 a month and that's not my problem.

Are there enough people who care about Clubber and League of Ireland to make a difference there?

I'm not sure.

It is worth saying, though...

I'll repeat some of the figures from the Sunday Independent Ireland Thinks poll that while 14% plus 10% rather not say, say that they have a dodgy boxer or prefer not to say, that means it's still a vast majority of people who don't.

And there are a lot of people who would still equate it with stealing or with being dishonest.

And that's also a fair argument as well.

It's a tricky one to get into with people, though, because people don't like to think of themselves being dishonest.

I think most people regard it as the equivalent of the taping music off the radio days.

Home taping is killing music.

I'm not sure if you remember that from your youth, but.

There was a kind of a sense that it's this is just a fairly harmless, you know, harmless crime that doesn't affect Irish interests.

There is one thing to think about, though, there.

And I'm not sure how valid a concern it is.

But if you look at the likes of Sky and others who are suffering from this.

On one hand, they have the dodgy boxes.

OK, let's say it's a quarter of households use dodgy box.
