What? "200k people prosecuted" for not paying a TV license? i find this really hard to believe what evidence can you really use that someone is watching live tv. If someone watches it via computer and they tv company work with the broadband provider to establish this the argument could always be someone is bootlegging your WIFI. They could take your computer to check but seems costly procedure for the £1k fine.
Having a TV in your house doesnt hold up as proof either in court. Total scam this TV license thing.
Most idiots just let them in. You can own a TV anyway and not have to pay it. If you haven't got a working ariel that's enough not to pay it. You can still watch tv programs online too, just not live stream them.
Wow. I can't believe you Brits gotta pay £145/year for a license to watch tv.
Is that per TV? That'd be fucking madness.
What did the government do with the fee?
It pays for the BBC, but it's a joke and should be abolished.
