I think the police have bigger fish to fry. <br /><br />I've not qualms with people watching Sky in this way, not when you consider the criminal activity that the Murdoch's get up to. <br /><br />I don't make things up, I only support my argument through what I know and my own personal judgement of issues.

If I watch a live broadcast on a "fuzzy" site, I am not only violating various copyright laws, but ironically I still need a TV licence to watch the live fuzzy broadcast! I may as well just cut out the copyright theft and watch my TV without a licence, and then I'm only breaking one law as opposed to two. Anything that is currently being broadcast for TV reception is covered by TV licensing no matter how you receive it. This does create a loophole however in that you don't need a licence to watch iplayer, provided the programme isn't currently being broadcast on TV.<br /><br />I once wrote to TV licensing about my Virgin VOD service asking if I needed a licence to watch the programmes on it, and they responded that I didn't need a licence to watch the programmes but I needed a licence to receive the Virgin VOD menu system since it was a "live broadcast"!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-60571060382021976112012-04-05T14:10:46.074+01:002012-04-05T14:10:46.074+01:00jamie youre missing the point. and that made by th...jamie youre missing the point. and that made by the last guy before you.<br /><br />i dont want bbc<br /><br />i want a tv<br /><br />it is a bbc license<br /><br />i cant have a tv and not have bbc<br /><br />that is not fair!<br /><br />now, i know youre a bit slow and find basic arithmetic hard when trying to make up records for ronnie, but nobody can say that is fair. it isnt.<br /><br />i hate the bbc. i hate the fee for it.<br /><br />i dont have a choice of bbc or not.<br /><br />ite either buy a tv and i have to have bbc and pay, or face a fine etc..<br /><br />please wake up. there, i asked nicely.<br /><br />the reason dave is probably not happy with your past bbc debates is you just make things up and dig your heels in and dont allow others their opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-929377913310463942012-04-05T13:18:36.498+01:002012-04-05T13:18:36.498+01:00There are some really good sites where you get no ...There are some really good sites where you get no fuzzy connections, you've just got to do a bit of research. <br /><br />If you're into foreign football, these links are particularly welcome. <br /><br />I'm not going to get into another BBC argument, I've promised Dave I will be more sporadic in my defence of the BBC.

Hardly in the spirit of a free market economy is it? Now the country has gone digital it would be easy enough to encrypt, and those who don't want to pay for this low quality service could opt out. The reason they don't is because they know that most people can live without Eastenders and Doctor Who. <br /><br />I'm going to watch NCIS this evening on C5 and then Quills on Film 4. So I will have an enjoyable evening of espionage and Mossad assassins, and cap it off with some solid Kate Winslet nudity.
