Over here the local Computer shop will also programme it for you for around £50 if you think that might be a difficult task.......

    ..... not that I am trying to persuade anybody into any shady action
    We had this discussion way back, maybe before your entrance to the forum, and I stay (broadly) on the right side of the law on this, a bit sensitive to the whole issue due to previous aggro regarding musical copyright theft. To each their own.

    Ironic story on the general them of copyright theft, I had a run-in with a 'professional photographer' (ie a guy with a camera who calls himself professional on facebook) who recently threatened to take me to court re a photo I used in my magazine - he later agreed that copyright rested with the photo's subject matter, a rock band he'd done a shoot with. Anyway, the irony is that despite now having a notice on his fb page that he will sue anyone using his photos, he has put a request out for anyone who will 'lend' him a photoshop installation CD because the PIRATED version of photoshop he has is no longer working....pot kettle black blah blah

    Article 13 of the new proposed EU Internet Law addresses exactly these issues. As the wording currently stands Youtube, Facebook and other "content providers" will have to actively police copyright.

    Facebook has already dipped its toe into this particular water. Here are two instances of which I am aware.

    Two friends of mine who broadcast a weekly Soul Show (for the past 25 years) have broadcast it through the ether in Amsterdam, via internet through the url of the studio they use and also with a live video on Facebook. Amonth ago FB told them they could live stream the video but FB would kill the sound. The first couple of weeks we could both watch and listen through 2 url's. Now they have a new provider for online watching/listening via a single url.

    Another friend posted a video of his daughter. There was a Bob Marley track playing in the background..... FB killed the audio. I wonder how much of Youtube's content will be pulled if this new law gets passed. A year ago it was voted down. They have amended it but, IMO, not nearly enough.

    I think this piece of legislation will be the catalyst to Millennials turning anti-EU.

    I hope RA isn't reading this, otherwise this will be another topic hijacked for the anti brexit argument.

    I think the conundrum of whether to line Sky’s pockets or break the law in order to watch live f1 is totally relevant IMO
