Hey there I live in Germany and I was just wondering, would it be illegal to download torrents there for coronation street and eastenders as I knows its only illegal to watch them without a TV licence if they are live.... As its already been shown would this in fact be ok to download them as torrents? Anyone know?

cheers!

I imagine the broadcasters would rather you watched their content on their site, but I can't see it being illegal over here though. I prefer to watch BBC conent on the BBC site because the frame size is bigger and this obviously means that it'll be easier to see.

Its not like you can buy them is it? No one is going to come after you if you use a VPN to watch iPlayer or any other online service live either. TV licencing aren't going to pack their bags and go off and knock on peoples doors abroad.D They have no way of tracking. So I wouldn't worry.
