i have

you are stealing my friend

😲

How did you work that out?

@PureEvilPie You can legally stop paying the license fee

lmfao

wait actually explain to me so i can also not pay for it

why waste bullets when you could turn them into soylent green to feed the poor?

@atomic , stop paying, refuse entry, and tell them to stop contacting you

You can legally stop paying a license fee

but you can't legally watch BBC programs without a license fee

buy DVDs

fair game

download it from a non BBC source

there's many ways

im not saying you can't do it

the laws are poorly written

im just saying its not legal

Ah ok

i get what you;re saying

Also lmao

the problem with the license fee is you must pay it to watch *any* live television on any channel, too

You don't need to technically break the law to do it

Another year of fuckery

amazing

You can just opt out of it

@system11 this is true, the BBC if it must exist as a funded platform needs to be opt in, a la sky sports

or it needs to fuck off and figure out how to exist outside of the public purse

i think it should go commercial

The conditions to do it are that you need to never watch or record programmes on any channel as they’re being shown on TV or live on an online TV service, and
never download or watch BBC programmes on iPlayer – live, catch up or on demand.

What the fuck

was that copy paste

Yes

the live clause is the kick in the balls, it would be EASY to get rid of licenses otherwise

i watch bbc once every 4 years

mmhmm, that's why they added it in recently

even a live paid streaming service counts

really?

even payperview events
