Seriously, it's a tax. Normally, this is a fixed fee tax per household and not per TV set in a household. It's used to fund government boradcasting.

Thats what commericals are for, thats why they show them every blardy 15min during a movie. Ive never paid for a tv licence and never will, anyways i watch videos more than ever.

Just like the law is if you copy a movie thats showing on TV to dvd or video cassette you must copy the commerials as well otherwise your going against copyrights!?! Never knew that till someone pointed it out.

On German public channels (two major ones and several smaller) there are no commercial breaks during movies and other shows. For the public TV and radio channels we need to pay 17€ each month.

In the states we have PBS...but no one really cares about PBS...we have somewhat decent free broadcast stations as well (i.e. ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and CW), but most people over here have cable anyway. The government uses taxes to fund PBS, but like others have said, there's no individual tax for it.

I love PBS. Only decent programming left practically. I picked up a Pink Floyd concert off PBS about a week ago even.

Of course I recorded it with my TV card!
