Is streaming using the Veoh program now illegal in the UK?

Question

Since the clamp down on illegal downloadings, i have no idea what i can and cant do. Is using veoh, or another hosting provider to stream programmes that arnt available in the UK illegal? I know that when you download from Veoh its done using P2P, but what about just streaming?

Answer 1

Wow, BPI have done a great job at scaring the c**p out of everyone.

Its not in thoery jiust P2P that they are menat to be blocking, but downlaodign anythign copyright/illegal, though BPI are mainly jsut packet inspecitng P2P transmison, so streaming should be okay.

Just using P2P isnt illegal, it is only illegal if you are using it to get copyrighted material such as movies music and software.

Ultimatly its BS, and proabbly quite dodgy what they are doing, at most all the ISP's can do is send a warnign letter, they won't even cut you off the web.
