I like that answer...

Its not illegal to watch. It is when you stream it , eg live audio commentary of an Albion match.

if you copy or facilitate copying by making it available, something that is protected by copyright, you are breaking the law.

install peer to peer software is not, but you may only legally use it for material you own, or permits copying.

The OP hasn't stated if he means civil law or criminal law.

 

[JJB]

well it's not going to be civil is it....

Well, it is.
Rebroadcasting a tv show is breaching your contract with the person who supplied it.

I've been asking myself the same thing recently, because I cancelled Sky Sports a few months back but have found magictv.co broadcast it every day, often in HD. I've been quite happily watching the cricket lately, and a lot of the U21 footy that not even sky are showing.

But I do wonder if I will be sent to prison fairly soon
