Well I think the actual rule is if you have a device in your home capable of receiving live BBC... I suspect given that it's possible to stream live on a PC/phone though that the rules have been relaxed in that case, and that they only apply to devices that receive the broadcast directly. (ie TVs & TV tuner dongles) Problem is the way TVs work you can't really disable BBC on them but still get the other channels, you might be able to delete BBC from your Freeview channel list which would give you an excuse should someone check up on you though.
Also I think there were recent murmurings about it no longer being a prosecutable offence if you don't pay too, it will still be illegal strictly speaking, but in the same way that it's illegal for anyone over 11 to ride a bike on the pavement but I doubt anyone under 18 has even been given a warning for it. So the rules are being relaxed (not sure if that is in effect though, best check up on it if you are planning on stopping payment)
