It isn't the BBC, it's the TV Licencing Authority.

Ignoring the debate about how the BBC is funded, read the article properly: it's the TV Licencing Authority that are making the fuss.

The TVLA are in general heavy-handed & thugish in the way they go about their business. When I responded to their demands for payment by pointing out that I don't have a TV in the property (or any form of computer based tuner) their reply basically translated as "Thanks for telling us you don't own a TV. We don't believe you. The detector team will call to your property to find your hidden TVs."

They write to me about once a month, persisting in this. Now I just ignore their letters.
