If I visit the UK I can watch the BBC (I did not pay). If a UK visits another country he can't (he payed). Geolocation does not make sense.

- ascorbic 10y agoIf you visit the UK and watch in a hotel then the hotel paid for it. If you're watching on iPlayer then you'll have clicked-through a warning saying you need a licence to watch.

The laws surrounding license fees refer to broadcasts, on-demand is not broadcast in those terms. This is a good thing IMO.
