Are you suggesting that there's significant ambiguity about what "live TV" means?
- nailer 8mo agoYes. TNT shows live TV for example, last I checked they were produced by the UFC rather than BBC.
- PaulDavisThe1st 8mo agoThe UK law is specifically designed to cover this. It's not some weird thing. Any "live TV" requires a license even if you watch it via streaming services.
- nailer 8mo agoIf the law intends this, this is specifically a very weird thing. Why would the law intend to make people pay the BBC to watch UFC?
- mytailorisrich 8mo agoThe law did not really intend this as it was written when "live TV" meant sitting in front of an actual TV. Since then it has been interpreted as covering everything, I think to protect revenues and deter even more people from ditching their TV licence.
