ADS-B receivers

Now that you can buy personal ADS-B receivers (there was a thread on it recently but I can't find it) how does this fit in with the law on listening to communications. Are the broadcasts from the aircraft considered to be "for general use" and so anyone can "listen in" and have the receiver plot their position?

Or is it still like ATC broadcasts which are generally for aircraft only and not general consumption.

Basically is the use of these receivers legal in the UK?
