# they've been squeaking about computer licences for a while now
obviously there's been some idiotic suggestions from some italian politicians but computer licences, yes, it's going to happen, one way or another

after all, we must protect the content produces or save the children or the whales or something

# I'n not sure.
We seem to be the only country that does charge a fee. I've noticed however that I watch the ads on the streamed TV asTHere's only aoubt 30-60 seconds of them and there's no time to do anything else.
So maybe overall the influence of an advert will be stronger having less.

You must be covered by a valid TV Licence if you watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV. It makes no difference what equipment you use - whether it’s a laptop, PC, mobile phone, digital box, DVD recorder or a TV set - you still need a licence.

You do not need a TV Licence to view video clips on the internet, as long as what you are viewing is not being shown on TV at the same time as you are viewing it.

contradictory advice there
