Can someone please explain to me what the hell is up with this tv license thing and how the hell did it became legal in the first place!? There is no way this thing would ever pass in Puerto Rico. Half the population wouldn't be able to afford it (it's 139.50, by the way). You know, this is why people steal cable. On the other hand, now that comment on Doctor Who makes sense. And why is it that every official paper in this country insists on threatening me? This TV Licensing company sent a letter to every student at the dorm and I swear it sounds exactly like the application for the student visa. The gist: if you step one toe out of line even if you're not aware that you’re doing it, you're screwed. Well, I don't have a tv or a tv tuner or a fancy phone with tv. So shove it. Just goes to prove that no matter where I go, I'm always going to be disgusted by the authorities.
ETA: Here's a site on TV License Resistance I found interesting. Most of the pages are empty, but the forums's got stuff. And another on the bullying of the TV Licensing pushers.

The letters are heavy handed and really put my hackles up as well but they never go further than that without proof. I've never known anyone to be falsely fined.
And trust me if they entered someone's house without permission it wouldn't just be the Daily Mail that had a field day.
