I can't see Sky's lawyers taking very long to settle out of court, £1500 is a miserly sum compared to what the lawyers will cost them in the first place! Sky took his copyrighted video and broadcast it to the world et al., everyone could have recorded it and might be watching it back repeatedly at their leisure, removing any chance of Mr Eden ever monetizing it (at least that's what his lawyers should say!). Interesting note: would this be a single copyright breach, or would it have been breached for every person who 'illegally' received (their terminolgy: stole) it? |

Technically those some members of the public could have done that from the original video on YouTube too. The overall point is valid, but that's not the issue to assert.
And no, it would only be a single copyright breach because (to use your terminology) each person who 'illegally received' the video didn't steal it individually.
