I should pay for something I don't use and get treated like I'm breaking the law for not owning a license for something I do not need?
as someone said the fishing people don't come asking why you don't have a license and threatening to take you to court.
and they aren't getting my identity the same as virgin and sky wouldn't get yours if they came demanding to know why you aren't paying for their services.
You would probably laugh them away from your door why should the BBC be different?
The BBC is different because of the way it's funded, yes i would rather watch the BBC as a pay per view like sky and be done away with the licence fee, so you never ever watch any BBC or listen to BBC radio attall or use any of the BBC i player services.
Is it really worth all the rage it's seemingly causing you just to avoid them 'getting your identity'?
What exactly do you expect them to do with 'your identity' anyway?
Just go online and fill in the form saying you don't have a requirement for a license like every other normal person does and then get on with your life. They probably won't even visit.
edit - well, looking at Skeeter's post on the last page you actually should be paying for it anyway, stop whining like a manchild and just pay up what you owe.

I know you're not talking to me but it's no stretch of the imagination that some of us don't watch live TV at all any more, nor have touched a radio in so many years they forget how long.
I don't and BBC iPlayer is free of needing a license, plus there are only two BBC shows I watch.

ONDEMAND!
It's not a live broadcast no license needed and half of those are movies you would have to pay for individually if you didn't have the TV packages registered to the account...
an account that is not mine and I don't watch live....
also It's only since 2013 I haven't had a license
Why would I listen to the radio when I can just go on youtube and listen to what I want without all the talking , adverts and breaks

What did you expect from this thread? A pat on the back?
Yes they do. You need a TV license to watch programmes where the source is from the live broadcast.
4OD and so on, their source isn't from the live broadcast. They don't record the broadcast then upload it to 4OD, they are from compressed encodes of the master, not from the broadcast material.
That isn't what I said.

Can't say there's much love lost between me and licence people.
They made life as difficult as possible when I tried to reclaim my fathers annual licence fee when he passed away. I gave up in the end.
Then the letters started (similar to above) even though I told them there was no one living at the property. The tone is completely ott. It's the assumption of guilt I find most offensive. Why should they have the right to assume every home owns a tv?
It's just a very inefficient and invasive system. I've not come accross anything else like it.

No, you need a license if you watch or otherwise receive a tv signal as it is being broadcast.
There is no such 'original source' clause. If you think there, please link to it, as it's something no-one else seems to have ever read.
If you are recording things, you are receiving the live signal and thus fall under the license requirements.
If I recorded something, put it on a DVD and gave it to you at work, you wouldn't need a license but I would, regardless of the fact the 'original source' was a live signal.
are you talking about iplayer?
