That is a problem but sort of worked around if you call it a "Media Licence"
that is it gives the household the ability to legally view any media from
any source. Be that Netflix, 4OD, YouTube or, at the extreme, the
graphics/still images that make up a web page.
Yes I have bt youview which includes all the catch up stuff I have a
Netflix account anyway but would have to pay for it if I wanted to watch
it on Youview So leaving to one side the licence fee I'm paying for the
BT tv package and didn't want BBC content ? What then ?
Just get the ISPs to report those customers that access "media" sites? Or
just extend the current regulations relating to copyright infringement.
What, after ISPs have been asked to give up all their data to spooks
already ? Current regulations about copyright and intellectual property
are a mess. Most if not all were designed before digital happened. The
only people who will make money out of any of that are Lawyers.
Politicians don't have a clue.
