BBC responds to claims about how it's going to detect people using iPlayer without a licence
This article from the Independent and it talks about the conflict that the Telegraph has started with the BBC over false claims that it was going to snoop on users to detect whether they were watching BBC iplayer with out a TV license. They were going to do this by hacking into the users wifi network whilst in a mobile van. The claims were dismissed by the BBC and they called it inaccurate and that the real way wasn't far off.
Looking at the broader issue about whether people should even have to pay a TV license at all and i do believe that the BBC should look for other sources of funding it shouldn't come out of peoples pockets. It would be wise for them to move over to advertising and not only on their TV channel but even on their I player app and the BBC news website as it is the top source of online news in the UK, they could potentially be making a lot more with online advertising than they ever could with a TV license as the market of advertisements online is growing.
