will beeb get more revenue per viewer-hour from youtube than the license fees, a youtube subscriptionlicense fee isn't cheap;

beeb can also use payperview for the good stuff/traitors, like Logan Paul.
 
another click-bait video with a guy with a stupid expression - I have the wrong feed.

chatgpt says bs
Key Takeaways
  • Psychological Tactics: The video claims the enforcement system uses "fake technology" and "psychological tricks" to intimidate citizens into paying, citing internal documents as evidence.
  • Prosecution Rate: Britain is described as an outlier among major democracies, reportedly prosecuting one person every 90 seconds for licensing offenses.
  • International Comparison: The narrator notes that many other countries—including France, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Finland—have already abolished or replaced their TV license systems with less aggressive funding models.
  • Sustainability Issues: The video argues that the current system is failing and questions whether it will be abolished due to public demand or because the BBC runs out of funds first.

Have you considered engaging your brain instead of relying on ChatGPT?

Every single one of those claims from your AI bot is demonstrably false. And not difficult either, they're so famous at their false tech nonsense that pretty much every single person in the UK knows about their fake vans.

You'd have to be spectacularly ignorant to not know of these things...


Oh it's jpaul. Nvm, as you were.
 
Had anothrt threatening letter this week. Apparently it's another "IN01O0" form, like they are quoting some kind of legal code lol. It's quite funny in a pathetic kind of way. The next one will be a final warning, then a final final warning, then one saying they are coming on X date (they never do). Then back to letter template #1, the begging phase.

The amount of threats and harassment over not paying for something I don't use should be criminal.

I got home from a trip with a nice red letter on my floor. Went straight in the bin.

I received the same, but it's "y00rg4y", some sort of code, but haven't figured it out.
 
TL; DR;

Haven't the BBC farmed out the 'Enforcement' part of the license to a debt collector, the same type that issue fake 'invoices' for parking on private land?
This means that the DC pays the BBC for the 'bad debt' and gets a %'age of the income.

Except there is no debt, so not sure what a debt collector is going to collect.

It's like a salesman sending a debt collector to a house because they didn't buy a product.

Well i guess it is classed as stealing? So the debt is for the stolen services E.g watching live tv?

Stealing? Don't make me laugh. If you want to go down that route though, then the TV signals are unsolicited goods. You didn't ask for them to be 'delivered' to your home.

I got home from work earlier to find my IN01O0 had been delivered. :D

Im not going down any route! i havent paid for a tv license for a good 10 years as i dont use it!

Just trying to say they would most likely take the route of theft? If you are found to be using it, i have no idea :cry:
 
I see the latest articles over the weekend put some ideas out there that the Beeb are considering different licenses for watching Netflix/listening to their radio stations/visiting the website, disgusting and it needs to be scrapped and they should have to fund themselves another way and not at the expense of us under the guise of a tv licence

BBC licence fee update as millions could face £174 charge to watch Netflix

BBC bosses are seeking alternative options surrounding how the current licensing model operates, which could include extending the charge.

If they want to charge to listen to their radio station, or go online to their website then fair enough. I don't listen to BBC radio and would just stop going to the BBC News website if that was the case. But extending it to Netflix, Youtube, etc is just unacceptable.
 
I also read a few days ago about the BBC looking to link iPlayer accounts to home addresses.

I mean iPlayer shouldn't be accessible for those who don't pay the fee, but we all know why the BBC won't do this.
