IS TERRARIUM TV LEGAL?

The FAQ section on the official website claims that Terrarium isn’t legal. Keep in mind that the app isn’t available via the official Google Play Store. So, that does raise some eyebrows.

According to their website,  “No (it isn’t illegal). Terrarium TV uses streaming technology instead of torrenting (P2P). Unless you share or upload videos, you’ll be ok.”

However, I must point out that on Wednesday 26th April, 2017, the ECJ, aka European Court of Justice, ruled that “copyright-protected work obtained by streaming from a website belonging to a third party offering that work without the consent of the copyright holder”  does not benefit from an exemption of the laws governing the distribution of copyright content.  In other words, streaming pirated content using illicit apps is now just as illegal in the EU as downloading copyrighted material.

Most importantly however is that the Disclaimer which appear after you download the Terrarium apk file install the app clearly states that “Use Terrarium TV at your own risk.” In other words, if you do fall into trouble, you’re own your own.

HOW TO STAY ON THE SAFE SIDE?

If you want to use Terrarium TV or similar apps without taking any risks, you have to connect to a VPN server. VPN, or virtual private networks, allow you to hide your IP address and conduct your online activities anonymously. This is because once you connect to a VPN server, all your traffic is encrypted. Nobody can see what sites you are visiting, files you are downloading, or videos you are streaming. Here’s how you can easily setup VPN to watch Mobdro anonymously on your Android device.

1. First, you need a VPN account. Go to ExpressVPNhi and sign up.
2. Now, download and install the ExpressVPN app on your Android.
3. Open the application and connect to a VPN server.
4. Your IP address is now masked. Nobody can see what you’re doing online as long as you are using VPN.

ExpressVPN tops it for me in terms of VPN providers that respect their user’s online privacy. They don’t keep any logs of my browsing activity. They also have a 30-day money-back refund guarantee, so feel free to try them out yourself.
