In Japan, you have to pay the NHK tax if you have an antenna. You don't even have to have a TV, just the antenna.
I don't own a TV, or an antenna. They still try to get me to volunteer to pay their tax anyway.

In Japan I'm gonna rape your bussy

>>107131617
Seriously, they are known as NHK mafia around here. There's even a political party who exists only to stop the NHK tax. They will come after your relatives when you are dead. They're trying to change the law to make anyone with a smartphone to pay the NHK tax. We had to pay them a tax when my mother in law died, because she had a TV and the tax is due even if she is dead.

Just remove the coax outlet, worked for me

>>107131644
Wrong again. NHK won that one in court. Just because you removed parts required to receive NHK doesn't mean you cannot return those parts later. When they find you, you will pay the tax and penalty.

>>107131663
Seems like you live in a city then, sucks for you

>>107131668
No, inaka. They still come to the door occasionally, because I don't have the NHK tax sticker. They subtly threaten that I should pay even though I haven't owned a TV in more than a decade and have no antennas on my property. They will try to get me to admit I watched anime broadcast on NHK to trick me.

at least nhk has some quality in general in comparison to bbc

We get real japs here now? Cool. Thought you guys were all over on 2chan.

i would like a good external antenna like that but for now i only use one of those indoor pad antennas. the basic channel signals work good enough, i only use legacy tv for keeping up with stuff like local emergency news.

>>107131582
OTA TV is all literal who and mexican channels now. Cable is paying to watch ads. Streaming is slop. Just pirate old shit.

between the beginnings of commercial tv in 1950s until 2000s, the major networks knew they had the power to influence large captive populations. they still believe they have this same power of influence but those days are gone. it's like that movie sixth sense. if you tell them that they're dead they might just disappear into the light and never bother us ever again. it's over for them.

>>107131610
in the UK, they try to annoy me with this shit too but I am high caste - emigrant, so I just ignore them. Those laws are made only for the local population and for cucks. Usually only white/asian cucks will even care about this shit. Us foreigners know which laws are legit and which are made up shit for cucks.

>>107132637
how would an emigrant be affected by it? do you mean immigrant?

i suppose i can't blame them for trying, they wouldn't do it if it wasn't profitable.

yea immigrant. I do not need to learn English - something something... high caste in Britain you get the point. A brahmin does need English grammar or TV license.

>>107131582

ah yes linear tv
1980s movies and tv studio talk shows
you know its soon 50 years since 1980s

>>107132708
fyi, "emigrant" means someone who has left a country, and "immigrant" is someone who is from another country.
it's a difference in context, when speaking of your home country, you're an emigrant, someone who has left, and when speaking of the country you're in, you're an immigrant, someone who has entered the country.
you are necessarily both at the same time (you can't leave a country without entering another), which word you use depends on the context in which it's used.

>>107132768
man, i am autisitc and I made a grammar mistake. sorry for it... but my point still stands about immigrants/foreigners/not citizens not needing tv licenses. It was the core of my meme post that I wanted to convey - that I really do put all the UK governments mails about everything in the trash.

>>107132789
you're alright. i'm not british and i'm not making fun of you specifically. i'm probably also autistic, not diagnosed, but it's basically a requirement for /g/. i was just curious what you meant with emigrant. i too live in a country i was not born in (neither of which related to the UK or India which i assume you are from)

>>107132833
> India which i assume you are from
for your information, I was meme-ing on the Brahmin thing - I am eastern european... naturally I am going to follow British laws and rules even less than the indians, but I can assure you that I do take baths a few times per week and I do only minor crimes like piracy, hate speech, not paying the tv licence... you get the idea.

>>107132768
same with import/export btw

>>107132877
yea, that's a good analogy

>>107132322
It's only good for watching sports. Everything else, you can pirate or turn to illegal streams and pray it doesn't buffer intermittently.
