This is all well and good what the bbc say however as you are not recieving a transmission it would be harder for them to track surely, obviously they could track it by ip address however that would mean zattoo would need to work with them, I am not condoning or suggesting anyone breaks the law but I am curious wether or not they could track it, I do have a license and for the amount it costs wouldnt see the point in running the risk but I had to ask.
I have used zattoo only on a laptop but the quality seemed ok, no worse than iplayer online.
