well that or you've got to spout some gibberish about statute vs common law and how the name they're after isn't a person or something...

Wait...
Did you just say the government is right wing? LMAO.
What planet are you on, son?
Do you really think you'd see all these brown people being allowed here if the government had any inkling of right wing tendencies? LOL.
Some people are so removed from reality....
Let me guess, you get all your information about the world from the BBC, right? Rofl....
They've literally inverted reality on you dumb, unthinking liberals. You think you're on the 'Righteous' side. Hahahahahha.

Right wing = Nationalistic tendencies = Immigration not allowed.

I'm getting visited on the 7th August apparently - was also meant to have been visited on 5 July but no one showed up.
All this despite telling them on 3 previous occasions that I didnt need a licence. I would love to know how much this investigation has cost them. At least they have tried to disguise the letters a bit better.

Moved house recently, probably had numerous letters so far as it was set empty for a few months, including a scary "we visited you today" letter.
I have filled in the "bugger off and leave me alone" form on the internet.
Hopefully makes them leave me alone for a bit

From the tv licensing website
Do I need a TV Licence to watch live TV online?
Yes, you need a licence to watch or record any live TV programme, on any channel. It doesn’t matter if you receive it over the internet, from a cable or satellite provider or through an aerial.
This applies to any provider you use, including BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, All 4, Sky Go, Virgin Media, BT TV, Apple TV, Now TV, YouTube, Roku and Amazon Instant Video. You need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch live TV on a television, laptop, mobile phone or any other device.
Since when does a bbc tv license cover non bbc media, i know i'll charge for things i don't make or own.. cheeky fecks...
By buying a licence you support the creation of BBC programmes and services, and new ways of bringing them to you. Our purpose is to ensure as much of the fee as possible goes towards funding them

Have you got a link to that page that lists those?
Damn sure they can't charge you for watching someone playing a game live on youtube
If it just means for any live tv program, what tv show is even aired live via youtube?
Something else I've always wondered.
As far as I'm aware, the only way to watch live feed from parliament, is either via the beeb or sky. Is there any other way?
Something like that should be available everywhere for free, as it pertains to important things effecting everyone.

They can't, watching a person play a game is not the definition of live broadcast. Live broadcast is normal channels like freebies, sky, virgin etc. Anything been showed on them or any other means of transmission you need a TV license.Have you got a link to that page that lists those?

You can quite easily find live streams of TV channels on YouTube.

The wording is really confusing, but I think in summary:
1. You need the licence to watch or record live TV on any platform.
2. To watch the BBC iPlayer on anything.
Game streaming isn't really live TV in my opinion.

I cannot believe what I have just read. "no matter where they are broadcast or distributed from"
So if I stream some random broadcast over my PAID for internet bandwidth from a basement in Timbuktu, The BBC, who has absolutely **** all to do with anything, is legally entitled to £147 per year from me?
Hahaha. I cant stop laughing. Ahahahahahahaaaaaaa.
Only if said random broadcast is live TV that you could tune into through a regular TV platform.
it's cause people pipe tv through live streams.
it's not for stuff you/they create.
But if i take the signal from bbc2 or itv and replay it through a live streaming site that would need anyone watching to have a tv license
