Amazon fire stick & SKY

A friend has a fire stick and he’s told me that he cancelled his Sky sports because he now gets all the sports channels through the fire stick. He did actually show me this on his phone but I still find it a bit unbelievable. For a one off fee of £39 for the fire stick, it seems incredible that Sky haven’t put the blocks on this. At present we are paying £22 a month for Sky sports so it would make sense to change over, so why isn’t everyone doing this? Is it illegal?

    It is illegal and Sky and the EPL are on the case and shutting down/ fining when they can find the suppliers /sources .
    High court has a new block on EPL football through UK ISPs .Latest case five years jail time .
