The BBC is legal, Zattoo isn't? Of course, this debate depends on how you interpret your definition of illegal broadcast! Zattoo is, they argue, merely rebroadcasting the channels in territories that can already receive them via other platforms (cable, DTV etc). This they argue is entirely legal. If people are up in arms about it, I find it puzzling that (unless I'm mistaken or I missed something) no broadcaster has come forward as of yet, to declare that they do not wish for their channels to be rebroadcast on the Zattoo platform. I'm personally in favour of Zattoo continuing, it's very handy as a fallback if the atmospherics aren't in my favour so my DTV signal breaks up (yeah, it's THAT bad sometimes!)
