Yes, that's the article.
However, as for exclusivity deals never being outlawed in the future, I have said before that I have no problem with a programme being available to a channel on an exclusive basis, as long as that channel is also available at a reasonable charge on other platforms. The law needs to be tweaked to ensure fairness to all the viewing public.
