I'm just looking at it from the legal angle really without any moral slant.

If a licence was needed for using a dishwasher and someone purchased one, but decided not to use it and continue to wash up in the sink, they could argue that they didn't need a licence.

You're right though, claiming to do something that's perfectly possible, but unlikely (even if actually true) is no guarantee that you'd be found not guilty of committing the criminal offence of TV licence evasion. Is it worth it for little over three quid a week?
