You clearly don't watch enough Wallace & Gromit!

Even being an American I loooove BBC. 8) The BBC version of Planet Earth is easily one of the most amazing things ever created.
And also Doctor Who. Need I say any more? Seriously.
That's not the best attitude, Kura. :|
I know you don't have to have a TV license to use iPlayer, but it's probably still the most ethical thing to do.
Dude.. it's not illegal. It says on the website. I only need to pay for a TV license if I am watching a show on air. If I wanted to go onto the BBC player afterwards, I don't need to pay anything. Same as if I wanted Netflix, I wouldn't need to pay extra except for the Netflix fee.
I need a new TV anyways. I'm using a CRT right now. Do you think I wanna pay 20 bucks every month for maybe watching a total of an hour or two of TV a month?
How about nah. I fail to see how that's unethical.
they get their "payments" through advertising.
I've never even watched through itunes in my life anyways.
I will maybe watch 1 or less J Drama episodes every week and that's it. Or once in a while I will marathon something but that might be once every like.. 4 months anyways.
It's not unethical to use a service offered for free without paying a fee for something else. o_O;
In the UK, you have to pay a licence to have a TV. Even if you are only going to watch cable, or even if you never turn it on, ever- just by having a television in your house, you have to pay. And if you have two, you pay double (with a discount). There are cheaper plans for families and people with 15 TV's at home, but you have to pay either way.
And that fee is entirely used to pay for the public national channel, the BBC. Seeing how it's considered one of the absolute best, more impartial, educative and informative channels in the world, it's kinda worth it. And that way the Government isn't directly paying for it, so it can be free of political bias and hit it whenever they deserve to. And since they get a guaranteed income, they don't need advertisements, meaning no breaks nor economical bias- since nobody can pull their ads off if they reveal some hidden crap about some certain company.
Working in the BBC is one of the dreams of journalists like me.
Yeah Doctor Who is the bestttt. I have Dalek posters on my wall!
I'm not getting judgmental over not paying for it, I'm getting judgmental over the attitude she has towards paying for it.
