Britain's publicans can defy satellite TV bosses, and screen live Premiership football matches on Saturday afternoons, under a judge's court ruling.

In a landmark case a conviction against a pub landlord was overturned after he exposed a loophole in the law, by paying for a foreign satellite system to beam a Chelsea v Birmingham City match into his bar.

Initially Brian Gannon was fined 1,500 pounds under copyright laws.

But he appealed at Bolton Crown Court saying he'd paid for a service to beam the match into his pub via the system in Greece.
