Same thing in the states. If you record an NBA game and show it publicly. You can get sued. Also if your tv is bigger than 60 inches and you invite people over to watch the game. It is considered public broadcast of copyright material. I think the 60 inch threshold was set coz bars and restaurants were the only ones with sets that big for many years.
