Yet another case of technology overtaking law...

Here we go again...another big company fighting the inevitable! For years the UK has used a licensing system to pay for TV broadcasts, supposedly instead of taking commercial content. In fact, it hasn't always worked out exactly that way, but the TV License system is much-coveted at the BBC.

Why then, did they ever decide to start putting content on streaming video so that the growing broadband base in the UK could watch? Now, they are re-thinking that position, as it seems conceivable that streaming video may not fall under the TV License laws after all.

Interesting reading from the (UK) Times...
