I guess their will be a test case what if some watchs a flash movie from the phillpines say a legal owned copy of wowwowwee.
Its not being broadcast you have downloaded it, is that a recording which like Joe says technicaly if you had a tv with no recieving equipment could watch with no liscense. But if you watched a stream you would need a licence?
For example
What if I only use a TV to watch videos/DVDs/as a monitor for my games console? Do I still need a licence?
You need to notify us in writing that this is the case and one of our Enforcement Officers may need to visit you to confirm that you do not need a licence.
Please write to us including your name, address and the reason you believe that you don't need a licence at:
TV Licensing
Bristol

I guess some phills will need to pay attetnion to this as they may say have tfc satalite or just use internet.
From what i see the law is a bit hazy as new technolgies arrive. But if your streaming a film i guess Youtube then if they did catch you doing it then they would demand to see a tv Licence. But the downloading of legal files to watch at a later date i can't see an exact answer for.
