Regulation 3 Meaning of “user”
In these Regulations, a “user” of an on-demand programme service, or a non-UK on-demand programme service, means a person who uses the service to view a programme selected from among the programmes included in the service.
But a person who uses an on-demand programme service, or a non-UK on-demand programme service, to view a programme selected from among the programmes included in the service by means of a user-to-user service is not a user of the on-demand programme service or non-UK on-demand programme service.
The exception in paragraph (2) does not apply to a person who uses an on-demand programme service that is being used by a public service broadcaster, other than the BBC, to contribute to the fulfilment of its public service remitf1.
In these Regulations—
“United Kingdom user” means a user of the service who is in the United Kingdom;
“user-to-user service” has the same meaning as in section 3(1) of the Online Safety Act 2023f2.
