I still believe FR24 and the like, are a blatant breach of the Wireless Telegraphy Act

(a)he uses wireless telegraphy apparatus with intent to obtain information as to the contents, sender or addressee of a message (whether sent by means of wireless telegraphy or not) of which neither he nor a person on whose behalf he is acting is an intended recipient, or
(b)he discloses information as to the contents, sender or addressee of such a message.
I agree. And I read that as meaning the owner of this forum/website is committing an offence also when a screen shot from FR24 is shown. But I am not a lawyer. And I'm nothing to do with Ofcom.
If it is done as a screen grab and doesn't display aircraft reg, as the two images in this thread are done, at worst, these are a copyright issue with the website owner.
The quickest way to fall out with people is, discuss politics.
