OT - Stop The TV Tax

[Darryl Moore]

Oddly enough a real tax that the government collects, like the BBC TV
tax, I'd be all in favour of.

If we can actually manage to make the paradigm shift in the right
direction, then this will be a really good way to fund the creation of
national cultural content. That content could then be distributed freely
via efficient Internet P2P.
