Hello.

So, I found this cool website livetv.ru which apparently is a Russian website but you can stream many TV channels like ABC, ilive, etc from it.
I wonder if it is legal or not... Plus my friend told me that he uses sopcast without any problem. So do you know what the law says about it?
Thanks

If you've paid your Billag - you're safe.

So you have to pay even for watching TV from internet. right?

A Yep ........

Isn't the question more about the legality of watching TV (including pay/cable channels) via a website that probably hasn't paid licence fees/royalties as a re-broadcaster?

yes, exactly. does that make any difference?

This is Switzerland, why would you need to worry about watching streamed TV content from a Russian site?

What do you realistically think will happen to you?

Just watch what you want.

Receiving stolen content isn't a crime in Switzerland. You're probably supporting some Russian crime syndicate though.
