>You got a liocense for that Netflix?
I don't pay for Netflix or Amazon either.Just go to an imdb page and make the URL say playimdb.
>>535010088basedI'm now watching the new Mortal Kombat film.Hee yah!
>>535010088Instead of thinking of ways to avoid it, are you not concerned with stopping it in the first place. Think about this. The Labour government, are clearly positioning themselves to make the television license a general tax. We know what that is what it is anyway, but they're actually going for it. You won't have a choice, you will pay 180 per year, which will increase every year like every other bill. Just so the BBC can exist? This is fucking insane
>>535010391kino
>>535009875holy hell imagine going to such lengths nationally to not have to watch ads. just mute the tv and leave the room for a few minutes. id rather do that then have to have a fucking license to watch tv! uk is one step away from demanding a license to skip down the street with a smile on your face
>>535009875Do brits care about anything besides BBC?
>>535009875we must secure the future of BBC, BBC is the most important issue facing humanity today. save BBC!

>>535010539it's a humiliation ritual to keep the plebs in their place
>>535010478if they do the org becomes illegal due to breaking the loophole it was founded onthey can expand the tv license all they like, it's still illegal for them to make you pay ithate the principle though, i who hasn't watched anything bbc since the digital switchover and find nothing in their programming at all interesting don't agree to support itmaybe if news24 got rid of the talkshows and did some actual reporting i'd kick them a few bills but as it stands i hope they fail
>>535009875Why they don't give BBC right to tax people like our forced goverment media YLE here can do? Pay more taxes and be happy.
>>535010478>The Labour government, are clearly positioning themselves to make the television license a general tax.you mean just hide the BBC cost in with all other spending, so its not a distinct thing you have to pay for voluntarily?yeah, they would like that wouldn't they......most people will just forget about it,. ive always thought that having the funding for your government propaganda outlet come from voluntarily purchased subscriptions is about the best and most fair way to do it. if you want it, pay it. if you dont, dont.government generally doesn't like that model though.
I bet the cost of license checkers and the processing behind it cost the tax payers more than just a flat fee for everyone.>but we are helping the ones who dont watch tv
>>535010773>it's still illegal for them to make you pay itSo why does anyone pay it if they don't have to?
>>535010882Because they're retarded, obviously
>>535010882because lots of people like the BBC and other channels. believe it or not, when you can choose to not pay for something, many people will pay for it because its the right thing to do. personally, ive made more money selling thing 'by donation' than if each thing has a price tag written on it. this is a very white thing to do.
>>535010882A lot of people still think the bbc makes quality programming and unbiased news. Many still think it is a law and you need one even if you purchase a tv without the purpose of watching live programmes.A whole nation of do gooders believing the government and what the news people tell them.
>>535009875This is what the whole DigitalID/AgeVerification stuff is about. Governments realizing in the past 5 years that Big Tech and Internet services is trying to ursurp proper government so their draconian response is to lock down the entire internet and treat it like Cable TV, to maintain narrative control like before the internet.And UK is not alone. And they weren't the first to call out Big Tech for their encroachment to power: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0NX49Jlm0M
>>535009875That would be illegal in most places, but in bongland it's normal.
>>535011006>TV taxI would like to believe mi5 has better income sources than panhandling the plebs. looks like I was wrong, Nigel
I worked in a supermarket when I was sixteen- and one evening this young couple were buying a TV. I scanned it and was about to take payment when this ugly bitch supervisor came running over and said "DID YOU CHARGE DEM FUH THE TEE VEE LOICENSE!?" at which point she proceeded to take over the transaction, the couple were probably fucking pissed they almost didn't have to pay extra lol
>>535011006So do you get a bill in the mail asking you to pay for a TV loicense or do you send money just in case you feel you ought to pay?
>>535010882I assume he's referring to the fact at the moment you have a choice. Don't get caught in the net (Don't want live tv and whatever other criteria they list)? You can legally choose not to pay it. But the net is clearly going to be cast so far, it will become increasingly unavoidable. They're clearly going to go for a general tax or make it so its unavoidable (if you're online you pay it), its going to become a general tax, wait and see, the warning signs are all there, they're going to for it
>>535011193What a load of rubbishWhy tell lies on the internet?
>paying to watch kike propagandapeople are insane
>>535010696That's what I do aswell ameribro. who the fuck pays? Also, 90% of movies I watch are from the 80s-2000s.
>>535009875that's socialism for you.
>>535011133our government TV funding is hidden away in general taxation so they just charge every netflix user an extra tax on their subscription. same thing in the end - government has to force people to pay for its shit because less and less people want what they have to offer.
>>535011216I have been getting letters from them for about 6-7 years telling me I need to pay every so often I get letter telling me their enforcers are in the area on this date and they will investigate.Had one person knock on my door asking about it I said fuck of don't come back, that was about 2 years ago. Still gets letters monthly.
>>535011290I don't need to impress you, although it would be nice
>>535011487What would happen if you did let an enforcer investigate? Would they sue you?
>>535010882They send you monthly letters with big red words if you don't
>>535011006And those people should be executed by quartering. Same with Swedes who think SVT are unbiased.
>>535011608They just want you to sign up and get the direct debit going the idiots you see online arguing with them and letting them into their homes are fucking morons.
>>535011088Ey danske bro, I just watched the pusher trilogy. Best think that came out of Denmark since Tuborg
>>535011714Kinda sounds like a mob shakedown.
>>535011608That anon is somewhat misleading you, if you were unaware of how it works. He's making it sound like you can stop paying it, continue watching tv, without repercussion. In theory, they will go through a court if they've got evidence and I suppose its financially in their interests to pursue it.
>>535011608they'd try to prove that you're watching live broadcast TV without paying the fee. thats all. i heard that some people fix a plate or something over the antenna socket on their TVs and show the inspectors that.
>>535011865How can they get evidence that you watch live tv? Just dont let them in.
>>535010088Based
>>535010478>The Labour government, are clearly positioning themselves to make the television license a general taxThis is literally how every other country does it. Good job retards memeing about 'muh loicense' all the time when we were basically the only country where you can actually opt out of funding the state broadcaster if you wanted to
>>535010088Holy fuck, thank you anon.
Imagine still paying for shitflix, let alone needing a loicense for it.
>>535010088I didn't expect this to actually work holy fuck
>>535009875
>>535009875We must secure the existence of the BBC. Heil Starmer.
>>535009875>Our service is shit>So we will force you to pay for it on top of other servicesMan I already have to pay for the NHS to keep boomers alive, now I have to pay for their TV?
>>535011980Of course. I'm completely on board with scraping the tv license. I'm completely on board with you getting away with not paying it, I'm okay with you taking steps to prevent them gathering evidence, I don't care if you kill the bailiffs. All I'm saying is. You're basically making people that arent aware, believe there is (potentially) no repercussion. Potentially, there is. That's all I'm saying. >>535012048Firstly, I don't agree with it fullstop. Secondly, I'm not willing give the bbc a penny. Lastly, the TV license currently costs 180 per year. It regularly increases. How much do you propose tax payers pay? Where are you drawing a line? Should tax payer money be used to pay lavish salaries and pensions? Should the tax payer have zero say in content, propaganda, bias? Its fucking pure bullshit. Fuck off
>>535010088Why do you brown toothed limey cunts allow yourselves to be dehumanized like this? No butter knives, no telly, mandatory muslim worship. What would King Arthur say if he could see you now? Merlin is rolling over in his grave at the state of you. Id come over there and beat you myself if i could get the time off work.
>>535011810It's almost the exact definition of a mob extortion racket.
TV loicense has to got to be the dumbest shit I've ever heard of. Does literally any other country on earth do this?Either make it pay to access or just roll the cost into taxes. Why on earth would you have a system where you broadcast it openly but if anyone happens to look at it then they should pay a license, and then you have crews of glowniggers roaming the streets knocking on doors and peeping through windows to see if anyone has a TV inside that's tuned to BBC?
>>535010478Put Keir Starmer into the Tower of London and then behead him on VE Rememberance Day
>>535010539We still have ads, the loicense fee is to fund entertainment for all the pederasts who work at the BBC.
>>535012496you dont like the idea of being able to not pay for the government propaganda? yeah, most place just hide the cost in general taxation so you pay for it no matter what, and you think thats much better?
>>535012496>Does literally any other country on earth do this?Many countries have to pay a licence but they avoid these threads and keep their heads down.Some countries have the PBS subscription mixed in with their electricity bills, so they have no choice. I can understand why it was set up in the first place but it's a bit outdated now and people have been trying to change it for years.
>>535010088lol wot. It works.
>>535012699then make it pay to accessthe bong system is like those hustling street niggers in NYC who will play music out in the open and then if you walk by they demand you pay them because they played music for you.
>>535010088Woah. What the hell. HAX!
>>535010731lol. dog bless america.
>>535012782>then make it pay to accessi mean its one option, but how do you do that when its broadcast to air? you'd have to make each device require a card or something like sat systems etc.
>>535012782and no, its not like those niggers. its generally been a very successful honor based system, though they have sometimes resorted to scare tactics and these 'inspectors'. id have no issue show one of those guys that i cant watch live TV and then never getting visited by them ever again.....and never having to think about paying for the state run propaganda mill.
>>535009875 How is this wrong? In my country they changed the law a few years back. Before that, only people who owned a radio or a TV had to pay the fee. Now every person above age 18 has to pay $428 annually, regardless if they own any electronic device that could have access to any broadcast or not.
>>535012782>then make it pay to accessThey won't, because they won't survive. So they won't even entertain it. They talked about ads, perhaps the 2nd most logical alternative. The government has clearly gone against that idea because they think it will impact "impartiality" like that exists, like this country is democratic. So what does that leave? Keep casting the net further and further to drag as many people into paying it as possible (On demand video services) and where does that stop? If you're online you pay it?... Then what does leave? A outright general tax, a literal tax. A tax for the current format of the bbc? I can't stomach that, and I don't think many others could either
>>535010088can't believe I never knew this
>>535012992>They won't, because they won't survive.but clearly they do survive on the license fee already. why would it be different?
>>535011352same. plex fucking blacklisted hetzner's datacenter so i'm having to rent a shitty vm here in the states that's on their backbone and doing wireguard between the two because no one can beat 100TB storage + 100G RAM for $120/mo
>>535010539>holy hell imagine going to such lengths nationally to not have to watch adsThat's not how it works. The TV license money goes to a private company, the BBC, and they only has a small number of channels. These laws force you to give money to a private company even when you're not using their services. You still have to watch ads when watching non-BBC channels.
>>535013061You're retarded. The number of people paying the tv license keeps going down. Their salaries and costs keep going up. They've already been moaning about the state of their finances. Majority of the viewer base is old. What the fuck would they have to gain from a subscription model you dumb fucking cunt. Why would they willingly take that risk when they can simply collude with a government for a general tax. Easy money, like it always has been
>>535010499FINISH ME?
>>535013472the bbc has been whining about its finances for as long as its had finances. this is only normal since they are essentially a government ministry
>>535013472but of course you are right and they will very likely just 'scrap' the license fee (to much retarded fanfare no doubt) and just set a yearly budget allowance from general taxation.
>>535009875it is very BRITISH to do.
>>535009875The british need a little no taxation without representation if you know what I mean.
>>535011193>this ugly bitch supervisor came running over and said "DID YOU CHARGE DEM FUH THE TEE VEE LOICENSE!?" at which point she proceeded to take over the transaction, the couple were probably fucking pissed they almost didn't have to pay extra loltopkek
>>535014192i think the idea of a national state run broadcaster is hard for americans to really understand, and i dont say this as a complain really. imagine that NPR is run by the government, is available absolutely everywhere in the country and run multiple different channels both of TV and radio. If you want to watch it, you pay a yearly fee, which they call a 'license' because it was created back when radios were the only thing going and the term was used in the same way that a radio ham must have a license to operate his radio on the air.Now imagine that less and less people want to watch and listen to what NPR has to offer, so the government thinks to scrap and license/subscription fee and just guarantee NPR all the money they want every year instead.
>>535010088Holy crap - kudos, anon!
>>535010088Holy shit
>>535012496tv licence is just excuse to make the propganda profitable to gov, the advertising and audience is not enough support state channels
>>535009875>the UK government securing the footage of BBC sounds about right
>>535009875Why!? A license for television at least makes a hint of sense, due to long range radio frequency usage, like ham radio licenses. Streaming services use the internet, which is already paid for. Why not take the mask off and have an information license applied to books, entertainment, internet, and tv?

>>535010088WHAT?!?!
>secure the BBC's future
>>535010478they've achieved this here quite a while ago. you pay, regardless of whether or not you watch it. it's a social contract they say, that agrees on them providing valuable content vs. private tv. of course, both are run by the same people and display the same agenda. only exempt is a neet. and even then you have to regularly prove it to them. or so they demand. nightmare, cause this is all jewish daycare jobs with higher ups incredibly well paid.
>>535015574dont they add it to your electricity bill or something like that?
>>535009875hahahahhahahahhathey are getting those fees no matter what XDit's not even about the money, it's about the humiliation
>>535010088no way I'm falling for this one
>>535009875The BBCs future has already been secured for Britain.
That's like saying you have to pay for the government propaganda if you rent Blurays. In Switzerland (almost) every household has to pay the government propaganda tax now BTW. In the past only households with a TV and some kind of connection (antenna for instance) had to pay the propaganda tax. At least you don't have to watch and listen to the lies.
>>535009875You couldn't pay me £100 a year or whatever tv license is now, to watch that whiny kike propaganda.
>>535009875Ah, that's a shame, I only use torrents.
>>535010088mmm, delicious malware.
>>535009875when are yuropoors going to reject modernity and embrace their ancestral heritage of slaving in the salt mines for 18 hours a day? You don't need entertainment, goy. You need to focus your mind on producing for king and country.
>>535011133You pay a TV license (AKA public broadcaster tax), you just aren't aware of it because you have room temp IQ. In the US PBS/NPR are funded with billions in federal grants, which you pay for indirectly.In actual fact our TV license is better because I can (and do) OPT OUT of paying it, whereas you pay for propaganda whether you like it or not.
>>535011810>Kinda sounds like a mob shakedown.Yeah it is. It's racketeering. Only dumb fuck boomers get scared and pay the fees. This is why they're trying to find more way to expand the licence because no one is paying it.
>>535016485>In actual fact our TV license is better because I can (and do) OPT OUT of paying it, whereas you pay for propaganda whether you like it or not.its really that simple. every working person in canada pays something like $50 a year for the absolute dogshit that is the CBC. it produces nothing of value. nothing. in contrast, the BBC is a global powerhouse and makes fucking loads of money reselling shows all over the place.
>>535015722no. you get reported to them by the official register for id+adress, both unavoidable. then you get charged, or rather they force you to pay a monthly fee, currently 18,36 fiat. they establish their 'right'. if you fail to pay, demand accrues and might be sold to probailiff jews, who then employ solicitors. if you own anything, they want it. sad, i know.
>>535010088Checked and delete this
>>535010478Netflix and amazon prime are absolute trash anyway. You should focus on killing the niggers and mudslimes in your country instead. And the jews. In Minecraft of course.

Do bongs really pay for fleets of vans that drive around looking for "TV signals"
>>535017409the canadian government force companies like netflix to give money to the CBC as a round about way of doing the same thing here. think about that - the government media company is so shit that they have to make a law forcing companies that people actually want to pay for give them money.and people think its great. how they dont see it as being about the biggest admission of failure you could make isnt clear to me
