fun fact: the uk tv license rules say im allowed to watch TV on my laptop when im at uni, but ONLY IF said laptop is not currently plugged into the wall
No. They have a database of every single street address in the UK of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and assume that every address has a television set and is watching the Tory Propaganda pumped out by the BBC and the drivel excreted into the electromagnetic spectrum by the independents. Any address that does not have a TV Licence is assumed by them to be breaking the law and will be bombarded by vaguely threatening letters. I have a large collection of these letters.
