Here in the UK, to own a TV set requires a licence, paid to the Government. On principle, I'm not prepared to pay the Government to use a TV set to watch programming of which almost all is either funded by advertising or through subscriptions to media companies.

If I needed a license to keep my TV, I wouldn't have it. That's nutty.

It gets worse.
In Germany there's also a tv fee, and the German government just assumes that everybody has a tv. So you have to pay it.
And computers/laptops also qualify for it.
So I have no escape here

What logic do they use to justify that?
It's not as if you can use a TV wrongly, you don't need experience or whatever to operate it. Why do you need a license?
