Well a while back when there were certsin popular web sites for streaming things (pirate), the FCC had begun cracking down...even for downloads that were not for profit. Some would see a letter in the mail threatening court, and I can tell you that there were a number of people (at lwast one that I can remember) who were made an example of. I hope this makes sense. It is something you can research on your own if you would like more information.
