If you want to watch content on Sky Atlantic its simple you either subscribe to Sky or pay £6.99 for a Now TV entertainment pass how is this any different from me wanting to watch the latest season of House of Cards or Breaking Bad by subscription ? My only option here is to subscribe to Netflix and pay £5.99.

Whether you love or hate exclusivity its here to stay in my opinion.
I don't subscribe to the view that because that's the way it is, that's the way it has to stay.

It is possible that market forces will sort this out sooner or later, but I think regulation is required or I'll be dead before we see any meaningful change.
