I don't disagree with the Beebs sentiment apart from the old question of what exactly do you get for your license fee anyway?
I haven't watched anything on the beeb for years and anything I did like I own on DVD.
That aside, I am interested in why the law applies to web based streaming. Presumably any laws concerning TV licenses are so old that they pre-date modern internet technologies so I am curious as to how this applies.
Could it also be said that this all sounds like an idle threat given that detector vans don't generally pick up TFT monitors. I am obviously aware that things can be tracked through the internet but scale of the job is vast and corporates can have an internet connection on one site but used by many others, even in different parts of the world so how exactly do they plan to police this? Sounds like a bit of "oh dear we forgot they could do that..."
