Well it's like.. I can't remember if iPlayer does but I know others do, where it's like "Hey! You can't watch this unless you have a UK TV license!! Do you have one?" Then you just press yes and it's like "oh ok" and you can watch shit for free anyways? What does bbc expect?

[QUOTE]"However, rather than seeing this as a threat, there's much good news here for the BBC." The report highlighted that 75% of the 65 million already pay for subscription services like Netflix or Hulu, so there was "clear potential" for the BBC to create "new revenue streams". "If even a relatively small proportion users could be converted into paid users, the additional revenue it could create for the BBC would be significant."[/QUOTE] That's a surprisingly reasonable approach. Sure beats "those fucking thieving pirates, lets waste shittons of money on trying to take them down and inevitably fail"
