Now as I've said again  it's not a good choice and personally i'd much prefer if all bbc stuff was subscription based. However I can't see it happening. |
Is not paying it still a criminal offense. I seem to remember they were going to remove the criminal element of not paying the tax.
Remember one thing here. If you watch Sky tv live you must pay the BBC there tax and they had nothing what so ever to do with production or transmission of that broadcast. Nice easy way for them to pick your pocket.
Why should the BBC be allowed to profit from programs produced by another broadcaster.
