dear bureaucratic cuntrag,

i don't wantch or record any live TV programs on any channel, and i do not download any BBC shit on any platform.

go fuck yourself.

person who only watches TV through his computer and does not consume any of your taxpayer funded agenda driven shite

can't be that hard?

tell them you don't need one and prefer american media broadcasters such as PBS (they rebroadcast BBC stuff) as a joke

>Bongs have to buy a TV license even if they don't have a TV

Further proof all the non-shitty Anglos moved to the US.

Send them a letter back saying that you have no desire for any further communication from them, and you will charge them the sum of £50 per letter as an administrative charge.

When their next automated letter comes through, send them an invoice.

when they don't pay it, send them a final demand. When they don't pay that, raise a claim at your local court for the sum incurred plus costs.

Eventually, they will stop sending you letters, but it can be a nice little earner.

>>132989023
>Buying the real estate jew

You only have yourself to blame

>>132989023
Did they also send you an intimidating letter for owning silverware without a license?

I've done it before with loads of companies.

Eventually they'll send you a cheque which you can cash as 'final settlement', or you can proceed with the case.

I've always just taken the cheque, I can't be fucked taking a day off work.

Why?

The TV Licensing company has entered into the contract by dint of continuing to send me letters, despite being aware of the administrative charge that I levy for dealing with them.

They accept the £50 charge, and have not paid, therefore we would go to court for me to get a judgement in my favour which I would then turn over to a debt collection agency.

Whats interesting is that in most countries their is some form of taxation or public funding scheme for state backed media its just that its typically rolled into normal taxes and not its own tax. The TV license is shite because everyone knows they are paying for propaganda and social-engineering but its obviousness raises good skepticism compared to the huge number of other states that have publicly funded media but no specific taxation/license.

As for me I haven't had a TV for about 11 years now and thus haven't paid a license for a long time, never got any trouble from them. Only thing done by BBC that's worth watching is Adam Curtis's work they put out.

You can do the same in America with debt collectors , I didn't feel in owed a company money for shitty service never rendered, they sent it to a collector, I demanded a validation of debt they never provided it, each violation of he debt collection act allows you seek $1000 damaged in court.
All you have to do is proved you sent the letter, if they can't show a response they are guilty.

Then do this: find the name and address of one of their local officials, then seed their land with Japanese knotweed. It'll take about the third of the value from their property, or give them hell whilst they try to remove it.

Then send them a letter telling them why what has happened to them, has happened to them.

When sending the letter, do the following: never touch it with your bare hands. Instead, contaminate the paper with the DNA of many people, by rubbing the paper on a handrail at your local shopping centre.

What does "a full investigation of your address" involve?

Over here we pay for the public TV channel under threat of violence and losing electricity.
We're being fined by the EU for illegal practices, but the goverment continues to demand the money through electric bills.

A normal, private TV channel has a budget of about 30-50M Euros a year, but the public TV channel, which nobody watches and averages like 2% market share, has a ~300M budget.
Everybody there is hired as a political favor for electing corrupt politicians and thieves throughout the years. They get massive salaries and immense benefits, and early retirement, and cannot legally be fired.

The entire country is forced, under threat, to pay for them for the rest of their lives.

Dog lisenced is a good thing. Keep register who owns dogs and force them to periodically show their dogs to vet to ensure proper and humane treatment. Some kind of tedt for basic dog handling knowledge would be good.

I dislike people who own pets and can't properly take care of them or even train them. Barking dogs eveywhere. The owners should be forcibly euthanized for letting their pets become spoiled vermin.

In the US we own the land but not necessarily the right to it. If an oil company wants to build a platform on our property we can charge them rent for it but can't drill the oil ourselves if we don't own mineral rights, for instance. Also if the government wants to build a parking garage where our house is, the courts can compel you to sell your land for a fraction of its worth or have it forfeited.

>BBC to deploy detection vans to snoop on internet users

The BBC is to spy on internet users in their homes by deploying a new generation of detection vans to identify those illicitly watching its programmes online.

The Telegraph can disclose that from next month, the BBC vans will fan out across the country capturing information to “sniff out” those who have not paid the licence fee.

The corporation has been given legal dispensation to use the new technology, which is typically only available to crime-fighting agencies, to enforce the new requirement that people watching BBC programmes via the iPlayer must have a TV licence.

Detection vans can identify viewing on a non-TV device in the same way that they can detect viewing on a television set.

The disclosure will lead to fears about invasion of privacy and follows years of concern over the heavy-handed approach of the BBC towards those suspected of not paying the licence fee. However, the BBC insists that its inspectors will not be able to spy on other internet browsing habits of viewers.

The existence of the new strategy emerged in a report carried out by the National Audit Office (NAO).

It shows that TV Licensing, the corporation’s licence-fee collection arm, has developed techniques to track those watching television on laptops, tablets, and mobile phones.

The disclosure of the controversial new snooping technique will lay to rest the persistent claims that detector vans are no more than an urban myth designed to intimidate the public into paying the licence fee.

I wonder if John Hale is aware of all the British shows I pirate. Do I need to get a license? You brits need to burn the BBC to the ground. That license is 1984 kinda shit.

>>133002534
It's almost beyond belief, isn't it?

>>133002473

Hypernormalisation is a fantastic documentary

>>132994071
Uhhhh, this is rather technical, but you know that iPlayer software mentioned upthread?

The BBC has set up their server software such that streams to your computer to be played by iPlayer have a unique packet size. That's how they twig to you using the Beeb over the Internet, just looking at your packet sizes.

>>133002689
We had something like this back in the '80's that Time Warner used to drive around neighborhoods to detect illegal cable hookups and even customers who were getting premium services illegally. Worked along the lines of analyzing frequencies or some such.

>>132989023
My friend just ignored this letter and the ones that came after... he didnt have a tv licence for 2 years. Just ignore it m8

Quick question:

We all know that in Bongland you have to pay for a TV license. Are there still commercials despite you paying for the license?

>>133002898

So they can basically only detect you on unencrypted wifi

Don't declare to them that you don't need a TV license like it says in the letters because they just want to use the information they give you to send more harassing letters but instead of sir/madam it'll be your name.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to let the BBC just shut down? Or go commercial with ads? Does Sky or ITV and whoever else get a cut of this or is it just to keep the BBC up and running?

>>133005222

>>133003063
That was a bone of contention when MTV and the like came out here in the 80's. They claimed they were funded by cable subscribers then went full retard with commercials also. People were like "why do I have to pay to watch commercials"? People were used to free tv they watched with antennas.

Maybe this TV model made sense in the 50s when they had two government-run channels and only broadcast over the air. With all the competitors and delivery systems available now, this is absurd. It shouldn't even be a left/right thing.

>>133006687
Its a cash grab.
The idea is that when TV was new in Britain, The BBC was the only thing on.
So it was like buying regular cable but with only one thing to buy.
Now that there are more channels to watch on TV and now the internet.
The BBC still wants its cash to make its shit show.

>>132989272
Well the license also removes or reduces the Commercial BS that people have to deal with.

If they got rid of the license affair, they would have to deal with more commercials like we do due to the upkeep costs of the BBC itself.

>>133007287
Not true. You can own a TV or a computer. You only need to pay if you use them to watch live TV or if you watch BBC iPlayer

>>133007166
>They see it as a great british institution.
Well it some ways it is. But then CNN used to be above board also. I watched a brief videon online at the BBC website. Some nature shit I think, which they excel at. But afterwards they asked me to take a survey about my opinion of the BBC. I told them I enjoy most of their programming such as nature shows and news but can't stomach their liberal politics. I'm sure it didn't bother them at all.

They come to your door and ask to come in. You choose whether or not to let them in.
If you let them in, they scout around your house looking for televisions and computers, they then try to get BBC services on them, if they manage to you get fined and have to pay the tv license.
If you refuse, they leave and come back later and ask again. If you refuse a third time they come with the police, but you can still refuse entry. Nothing happens after this point because the burden of proof is on them and they never get issued with warrants to search the property.

>>133008427
Not sure about UK but here in states you never let a cop into your house. An old trick cops use is they say they are looking for a previous tenant or want to discuss if you have any knowledge of crime in the area. Then they ask "do you mind if I come in"? Then they start looking around at your stuff for anything they can charge you with. Copied DVD's, etc. That way they don't need a warrant because you invited them in.

>buy as many shotguns as i want

So what you're saying is that other guy is right lol

I wonder how much of the TV licensing program budget goes back into detection programs.

The US gives grants to public stations and it ends up costing a median-income person about $0.35/year in taxes.

I wouldn't be surprised if more money went into the entire administrative process of collecting fees, issuing fines and deploying detection vans than into the programming itself.

They won't go to jail for raping german women but the agency tasked with collecting the fee will sue in front of a civil court until every last cent is payed or they go to debt jail. They even send a mother of three who couldn't afford to pay because she had to buy food to jail.

In the US we own the land but not necessarily the right to it. If an oil company wants to build a platform on our property we can charge them rent for it but can't drill the oil ourselves if we don't own mineral rights, for instance.


Jesus, I thought you were free

Do absolutely nothing like this guy has for over a decade:

The whole sytem is put in place so the public broadcasting is semi-independent from the government. It's almost impossible to cut funding like in the US where a president can end almost the entire public program with the stroke of a pencil.

Tell them this is not Allah's will. They won't do shit after that.

>>133011435
Why doesn't he just tell them he doesn't need one? It's an option on the letter.

>>133011636
Just wanted to point out ZDF had a bigger budger than NASA (more than BBC, in short) but everyone still watched BBC over it.

t. Visiting scholar forever amused with how unenthusiastic the germans are towards their own state-sponsored media.

>>133011797
Because then they will demand to enter your home to "verify" you aren't watching live television broadcasts. They will spot a television and go AHA, WE KNEW YOU WERE WATCHING THEM and then they will fine the shit out of you.

Its a scam, a trick, to fool people into letting the TV licence authority into their homes. The only time you should do it is when you literally do not own a TV / any device capable of showing live broadcasts.

>>133012076
They can't fine you for having a television.
Literally the only piece of evidence they could use in court would be a statement by you saying "I am watching BBC broadcasts" or any other direct admission of guilt.

>>133011797
Perhaps on principle. The TVLC have no right to harass him like this.

>>133012076
Would they ask you to enter a password to a smartphone/laptop/PC/smartTV?

If so, anyone can just download whatever their app is called or enter the website and charge you for being able to stream.

Their claim is so retarded, it blows my mind.

>>133012391
>They can't fine you for having a television.

You 100% sure on that? I am pretty sure they can if it has an aerial connected, or its connected to the internet.

OI M8! U GOT A LOICANCE FOR THAT THERE TELEMCGOO?

>>133012613
Yes. You could use a television for any number of things.
As for the latter points, they have to somehow prove that it does. Which they can't as far as I'm aware.

>>133012613
>>133012785
I should add *if that's the case.
Having a television connected via aerial or internet does not mean that you're watching BBC, so I doubt that knowing that would even be useful to them.

>>132991616
Australia has the ABC which is their version of the BBC and guess what? NO WEIRD FUCKING TV TAX. WOW

Im certain they will at least try to claim you need a licence though, the second they verify you are able to receive live broadcasts.

Its what is implied here:

>If you tell us you don’t need a licence, we may confirm this with a visit to your address. This is because when we visit and make contact, we find almost one in six people that tell us they don't need a TV Licence actually do need one. If you are not licensed, you risk prosecution and a fine of up to £1,000* plus any legal costs and/or compensation you may be ordered to pay.

>>133013136
They can try to claim all they want, without any evidence they can't do a thing.
Notice the language used in what you pasted is in no way definite "if you are not licensed, you RISK".
The "risk" is just scare tactics, they know they can't make any substantiated threats.
Again, being able to receive live broadcasts doesn't mean that you are. Further, depending on the method they use to ascertain that you can, they'd have to prove that it is YOU that can.

National Geographic is a US publication lmao.
Friendly reminder that all of this liberal gender shit started and is most prevalent in the US. You're the one that has screaming jiggypuffs and other such morons on your uni campuses.

>you need a license for everything there

I'm willing to bet that you know absolutely nothing about the UK outside of memes you see on /pol/.
