I'm afraid that, your personal opinion to the contrary, it unquestionably is illegal in the UK at the present time, just as all other kinds of "format shifting" are. Nobody is ever prosecuted for it (and, indeed, there would be no reason to do so), and I don't think that many people would regard it as "wrong", but I'm afraid that there's absolutely no question that it is illegal.
