Interesting breakdown of the legal complexities involved. Thanks.

The corner-case devil got the better of me:

Wonder how the lawyers (and the law) would treat it if they (Taiv) position custom content as channel and then just switch channels at opportune times?

It's not a question of regular law, it's a question of contracts.

To show live sports in bars you have to sign a contract, and periodically renew it. If the broadcaster notices Tavi and doesn't like it, they can simply add a no-Tavi clause during contract renewal.
