That's fucking terrible news. Are they really that desperate for revenue? I knew that young people don't really "own" tvs, but I didn't know it was this bad.
I hope it doesn't make it over here in Norway.
You should read up on the changes they have done the last few years =/
As already mentioned I now have to pay the license eventhough I do not recieve any TV signals.
Funny how this thread appeared the same day I got roped into paying for a TV license even though I don't have any TV signal coming in to my apartment. The whole idea of a TV license is just an outdated concept if you ask me. At this point it's basically just a fee for living in the country as the laws for who it entails is like 99% coverage. If they are that desperate to cover anyone possible why even make it a targeted fee and not just make the whole thing funded by normal taxes.
Although it's not really the topic at hand, people need to remember that the problem is never a bunch of zombies making more zombies. The big catastrophe is a viral outbreak, the zombies are just the aftermath. If a large portion of our population suddenly got infected with a disabling/deadly disease it would quickly have pretty dire consequences for our society, even without any zombies.
How many examples can you think of where you buy access to a service with a one-time fee and can use it forever, without paying any form of subscription.
Also, there has yet to be a (major) console out there that doesn't function on the simple principal of purchasing a piece of software, putting it into your hardware and it works. There is absolutely nothing anyone can do to stop me from playing my game as long as I possess the hardware and the software. I might not be able to access the online portion, but the online portion is a service (that you do in some cases pay for). The software itself however is not.
