This is a dumb question from a non Brit but how does the BBC justify itself? Or how do they get away with forcing people to pay for their service when they are far left ideologues?
-No TV and not using any device to watch TV channels on any TV service, watch live TV on any streaming service, or use BBC iPlayer?*
-Empty property or unoccupied address?
-Covered by another licence?
-Please tell us if you think you don't need a TV Licence.
And I'm not surprised to be honest. The letters they send you monthly are particularly intimidating.
In order to get out of paying it you need to send them "proof"; which is impossible now as they basically class anything as a potential to receive signals and thus you need a license.
The letters vary in design but they're usually plastered with you will be fined £1000 for not paying.. and "we've send out an agent to investigate, pay now and don't get fined"
I didn't pay for a year and received a number of them. Never had a dude knock on my door though.

I'm American but also want to know. I found this: (https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one)
The BBC seems to justify itself with, "because thats the law." https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-51376255
You literally don't have to pay it and can just ignore them.
Old people are too afraid and end up paying it.
