Do you need a TV license to view the BBC website?

[Tarantella]

Progressive changes in BBC website design with live broadcast/live audio/live video/live text links (especially over the Summer sports season) sometimes not clearly marked are a cause for confusion for the non TV licence holder.

Are there any regulations about facillitating tv licence law crime merely by the pressing of a live broadcast link on the BBC website or any other website come to that?

You need to be covered by a valid TV Licence if you watch or record TV as it's being broadcast.

You need to be covered by a licence if you watch TV online at the same time as it's being broadcast

They'd have you believe.
what happened to the licence being about equipment that was capable of receiving a broadcast signal?

Just because the BBC choose to broadcast over the internet. I don't see why we should have to extend what the licence is meant to be for.
fair enough if you already have a TV licence, but it's not fair to make people pay for a licence just because they want to put the broadcasts on the internet now.

make it like an adult website, where you have to log in to watch.
