in America, someone was fined millions of dollars for illegally downloading music for personal use. I mean, yes it's illegal (to my knowledge the same rules would apply in the UK) but the odds of being caught are extremely slim because they usually don't even care about you. They want the big fish and streaming is better than downloading, but it's still using an illegal service to steal copyrighted material for personal consumption. Thousands of people watch shows/movies illegally, though, so I wouldn't be too worried about anything.

It's legal to watch movies/tv shows from any browser in the uk. However, from what I know, it's illegal to download apps that allows you to stream tv shows. If you get caught, they'll charge you for breaking the law. I'm not so sure if what you're doing is illegal but, from what I know download free apps to stream tv shows is illegal.

Network providers who deal with all this already realise so many people do it, they give i think between 2-6 warnings before taking action, even then they dont fine you. They will slow down your internet, or block it completely. |
