je en crois pas qu'il s'agisse de surveillance, mais de mise à la disposition de contenus qu'on ne trouve pas sur les chaînes publiques.

"Copyright: In-house access to TV broadcasts, not necessarily a free ride! Free links to sports events broadcasted under exclusivity rights, easily a criminal offense and a copy right infringement.
European Court of Justice - ECJ
Fall 2006
EU, Spain, Italy
(i) In December 2006 the European Court of Justice (ECJ) delivered an
important decision on the extension of copy right protection to content
made accessible on a private TV circuit.
The case originated from a dispute between a Hotel chain and the SGAE,
the body responsible for the management of intellectual property rights in
Spain. The key point, on which a Spanish court in Barcelona thought
intervention of the ECJ, was to clarify whether:
−
the installation in hotel rooms of TV sets fed, through a cable
connection, by a satellite or terrestrial television signal,
−
the fact that the signal was received and made available in a location
like a hotel room, generally deemed as “private”,
−
access to the transmitted content by successive hotel guests,
occupying the rooms,"
