also, italy is way worse than us

>Unlike television licensing in the United Kingdom, in Italy there is no exception for those who only use a TV to receive non-broadcast signals such as playing DVDs or watching online videos.

Ever country pays a tv licences
Countries that have it separately are superior so as that if you dislike your nations broadcaster you can refuse to pay for them by not owning a TV

Maybe they should need an Internet licence too, now that most of the developed world rely on the internet for information and shows more than TV.

TV license makes perfect sense to keep the national broadcasting service as separate from the governing institution as possible.

Here they want to kill the TV license so the funds for broadcasting come directly from the treasury so Likud cronies can extort and take over the IBA and turn it into a shitty propaganda tool.

Our government is currently working on cucking the ones avoiding the licence (by watching online-TV/not owning a TV), by introducing a media tax for all households/individuals.

Fuck this gay country.

isn't it because you have to have a license for a tv even if you don't own a box?

>>71105243
no

here you only need it if you're specifically watching live broadcast television. if you just have a tv for video games etc, you don't need a license.

like i said here >>71102545 other countries like italy are way worse so we are not really deserving of the meme

>>71102401
It's just the name for the tax you pay for state television jesus.

>>71102401
