 Re: Is it legal to record video streams? Can it be considered as a piracy?
It all depends what you're downloading, for instance, the BBC are public owned, we're forced by law to pay them a TV licence, so all BBC made stuff comes under fair use
What I mean is you can't own a TV or even just a computer without being forced to pay the BBC a licence every year, and it doesn't even matter if you never flick it on any of their channels
So all BBC financed stuff comes under fair use, hence why we don't see any copyright warnings when we upload BBC stuff to Youtube. I could even email them and tell them that I'm uploading their stuff and they wouldn't remove it
