Everybody gives Brits shit for having to pay a TV license, but when you watch a BBC documentary and compare it to an average American production documentary all you can do is say god bless the queen for giving us quality television at the expense of British taxpayers.
>>72509452
We used to have this kind of bullshit. Until the government passed a law that make us free of charge. Feels good man.
>>72509452
yes. they even tried to make you pay cuck license for owning computer.
anyways. nobody pays licence unless they're retarded.
pic for comical effect
>>72509452
Yes, but I signed a declaration that I don't own TV and thus refuse to pay for it. They sent some TV worker to my home to confirm that, but I refused to let him in because he had no authority to enter. He tried to argue with me, so I threatened to unleash my dog on him and he left. I didn't have any problems since then.

It is a way for the government to rub it into the face of Germans to tell them "we could also fund the Lügenpresse with taxpayer money, but we want to show you that you ARE fucking paying for the state run media directly".
It is shit and it needs to stop. I am ok with funding the state run media through the general budget, but then only to a certain extent, not in the massive way it is currently funded.

I'm pretty sure basically every country has a state propaganda TV station that you're basically forced to pay for.
Yes.
The ABC is the only decent channel left on Australian television, and the 7.30 report is the only genuine investigative journalism done in this entire country.
Most of the non-news programming is pretty "progressive" but that's just because that's literally the point of the ABC - to fund domestic programs that cannot get funding otherwise. ABC News is by far the best news source in the country, and ABC Rural is a godsend.
ABC Radio is a bit of a meme though, and their attempt to get in on the internet isn't going so well.

We probably have hidden taxes for national TV, since its being payed by the state, at least national TV here is not fully rampant degeneracy, its pretty traditional and benign, plus no ads.

Meanwhile the BBC is renowned worldwide. Not that "quality" is a justification for state-mandated extortion, but come the fuck on. And taxing it? Not even we stoop that low.

but how much? Our state propaganda steals 9 billion every year. 70% of that goes into salaries and pensions. This guy is paid over 10'000€ a minute for indoctrinating us. And they decide how much they want to earn, there is no regulation.

In France there's a tax for owning a TV but I'm pretty sure it doesn't cover the budget of the numerous public televisions and radios. Plus most national newspapers wouldn't even survive without public funding and journalists get a tax rebate because reasons.

Also you can't speak your mind without fear of reprisal and own weapons with ease like every free man should.
Ya'll are literally living in 1984 and still have the gall to say america is cucked? Sheesh, the of affairs you guys are trending towards makes me feel better about the US!
Here fucking everyone pays, unless you're blind or a foreign diplomat with Danish citizenship.
Even if you don't have a TV, the kikes force you to pay a "media" license, which is just a TV license they expanded to include all media-capable machines, i.e. TVs but also computers with internet access.
You have to pay regardless of what channels or content you watch (even if it's NONE), it's so fucking jewish. If you don't pay, they'll take the money through taxes and/or fuck over your credit.

nope
apparently for some people they do, but they have never visited me. i think so many people do this now that they don't bother.
it's called the iplayer loophole. it's an ongoing problem for the government, eventually they will close it and we will probably just pay through tax, like you do.

It has to be capable of picking up tv signals as far as I'm aware.
I have a tv in my house but it's not connected to an aerial or a cable provider so it can't pick up any signal and I can't watch anything. The channel options are pre-programmed into the tv but it just comes up as a black screen.
I haven't paid the tv licence for 3 years now and I've never had somebody come round and check - I guess they only do it to people who have paid for years and then suddenly apply to stop paying it.
>>72515065
My guess is that they don't really do it very much at all - it probably costs more to pay people to have a look than any profits you'd make from people deliberately not paying. I'm fairly convinced it's all empty threats.
>>72515065
They work for TV licensing, basically the BBC. I'd hazard a guess that they are just cronies, if it were governmental peeps they'd probably have more power.
I know loads of people without licenses, and haven't had them for years.

Kek.
No but seriously. It's not like I can back it up with any field research but if I compare to America for example, all of their news stations are completely biased and I get the impression that it's dividing the country in two. Furthermore, our taxes already pay for a ton of other medias in Denmark "Politikken, BT, Ekstra Bladet, Information etc" and those are completely biased, so paying for a national news station that at least tries not to be biased dosn't seem like that big of a deal to me.
