Hence my point about just telling the Goon that the picture he saw on the TV was a recording - VHS or DVD. Then say no more and shut the door.ShadyPetenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-82157172042921178352015-05-25T12:48:37.994+01:002015-05-25T12:48:37.994+01:00Is the owner "legally licence-free" beca...Is the owner "legally licence-free" because he doesn't watch or record TV, or is his claim to be "legally licence-free" based on a misunderstanding of the law? In the interview, he appears to think that he is immune from UK statutory legislation. If that is his only claim to LLF status (ie if in fact he does watch or record live TV), then he has no genuine legal grounds on which to avoid conviction.<br />One of the things I like about this site is that it encourages people to obey the law. If you need a licence, <b>get one!</b> (Or switch the damn thing off and go and do something useful instead.)Richardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-88445358702974693662015-05-25T11:59:31.784+01:002015-05-25T11:59:31.784+01:00FMOTL ideas belong in the dustbin binary genious l...FMOTL ideas belong in the dustbin binary genious learned that lesson and had the good sense to warn us all .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-79320605751015484242015-05-24T15:29:52.389+01:002015-05-24T15:29:52.389+01:00ShadyPete he didn't need to say anythingShadyPete he didn't need to say anythingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-76747865749500697762015-05-24T13:46:50.805+01:002015-05-24T13:46:50.805+01:00"I do not need a television licence, thank yo..."I do not need a television licence, thank you.
