So RIPA...
...that was supposed to only be used for terrorist investigations now is being abused as everyone said it would be.
Its also not an offence to have a TV even if you don't watch the BBC with no licence. It's an offence to own a TV that is cable of picking up a TV signal with no licence. You could be using that TV to watch old DVDs, Bluray or VHS or just for at games consoles. As long as you have no internet and no TV aerial you can still own the TV without a licence.
If a TV licence means no adverts then fine. I find it funny that people moan about the licence but are fine with pay Sky, Virgin or BT for their "licence".
The RIPA abuse is much like how they claimed they wouldn't use the logins for iPlayer to track people with no licence. I don't know why they are bothering. The amount of times I've signed up "Mr & Mrs Fuck Off" or variations in a post code that is miles away from where I am is still amusing.
