BBC license fee 'loophole' to close for iPlayer

"Hello, do you have equipment that could potentially receive BBC iPlayer content?"
"I have a computer"
"Licensefeeplease"

So long as they promote second rate ginger egotists into the well oiled shoes of genuine journalists, I will not support this kind of prole-abuse.

Anyone see where the implimentation is on this?

"The law has changed" which law and where? Regulation/Act.

Anyone have chapter and verse?

I presume they've done a regulation?

If folk are prepared to spunk out 1000s of pounds a year to watch more glittery shite on Sky et al then why should Aunty not try to claw something back?

Find free stuff to watch elsewhere.

Ginger Pubes can still be found on radio.

I haven't had a TV licence for around 5 years.... haven't watched TV for around the same length of time.... never felt the need to watch anything iplayer either (on any device)

I'm willing to bet the law hasn't changed to say you can't slam the door in their face.
I genuinely don't have a TV tuner within any device in the house, and don't even use their catchup crap.
Like shite am I entertaining those chancing scumbags let alone identifying myself though.

Can't see this convincing people to pay. I have never invested in a TVL, certainly don't intend to now.

You are basically paying them to peddle state left wing propaganda to you. By paying it you literally fund your own brainwashing! To add insult to injury they axed Top Gear, about the only vaguely non-PC programming, so now all you have is:

+ The Big Questions: Would Britain be better without white people?
+ Slavery, Britain's shame
+ Britain's Got Gardens: Why Polish gardens are better in every respect
+ Is climate change a scam? Only racists and 'Kippers think so
+ Dancing with Ragbah Mohammed, Dim Ching, and Sally Khan
+ The Big EU debate: 5 Euro fanatics take on one angry Tory or 'Kipper
+ The Big Bake Off: Guess who will win?

Enjoy

Can I still acquire DRM-free versions in minutes that play offline on any device?

Oh I can? Wait, I started reading books instead. oops.

I've noticed recently that the iplayer now asks you if you have a TV licence before you can proceed to click on the play button.

I wonder if anyone has ever clicked the 'No I don't, can I please pay X amount of pounds right now please' option?

Clicking the no option takes you to your local torrent site.

Fuck the TV license ads on this page.

[Rogue_Shadow]

Will they allow LIVE TV on PC / Tablet Yet?

Just watched the F1 practice live on the C4 website.
Catch up BBC

[M.C]

So are they gonna offer an on-demand only subscription or still insist on full whack?

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

It's a flat mehhhhh from me. Don't think I've had a threatogram to throw away recently....times must be tight.
