I don't get it

People accessing BBC content are only people who pay their license fee. As such, where they watch it from is neither here nor there.

You can't tell me that companies can evade tax by setting up their HQ in a tax-friendly country, then tell me that the BBC can't stream to its paying customers abroad because of local licensing issues.

Either it is the location of the company that counts, or it is the country where the activity is taking place.

Sort this nonsense out forthwith.
