Question

Answer 1

Some times it depends if its on an aproved on a website but i dont really know about the other websites my answer probably.....

Answer 2

It's legal to watch them, you will never be punished for it. Putting them on the internet or hosting them is illegal though.

Answer 3

if you show your own material/programmes, like on the bbc iplayer (which is owned by BBC) you can only watch programmes that are owned by the bbc (which at some stage were on one of the bbc's channels) that is legal.  the websites that have links for tv shows that they don't own the copyrights to - that's illegal. it's illegal for them to give the links and it's illegal for you to watch them if you know the website don't own the rights to the show.

Answer 4

ya its illegal.. but you wont get in trouble for them.. the website that has them will..
