Because one legitimate subscription could get at that info and then transmit it to 100 other setups all using the standard home subscription. The fees the place with the legit subscription would impose be significantly less than the ~£400+ pub subscription fee. But, you know... I just realized... there's nothing stopping the place with the legit subscription simply just retransmitting/forwarding on their own signal to a bunch of other places. Duh. And that's so simple I'd be surprised if it isn't already being done in at least one place in the wild. (I have no idea if it is, I only just thought of the concept.)
