Technology has made the 3pm law redundant. If you want to watch it you can find a way. Same as if you want to take drugs or watch porn.

Prohibition just puts money into criminals' pockets.

People who want 3pm matches televised want to be careful what they wish for, cos there's no way it's going to be broadcast for free.

Obviously not a concern for a Prince, but for everyone else I bet it will become a whole lot more expensive to watch something that I understand is not actually too difficult to find if you care to look for it.
Then people would have the choice of paying or pirating. Currently we're forced to pirate in the UK if we want to watch.

Odd that people demand 3pm be televised but you still get matches on a Sunday not shown

No. Perfectly reasonable - they understand how to do tech, me, less so.
I'm 61 and understand technology but that's because I'm interested in it. If something new comes along that I want to know about or find out how to work it (like using a VPN or setting up a home server) then a visit to mr google will point me in the right direction.

Good for you. I understood it pretty well when I was 61 too.
