"Currently, anyone who uses a television to watch content must pay the licence fee even if they do not watch the BBC."

This is simply not true. Which puts me in doubt about the rest of this "article". The rules are:

1. Watch or record live TV on any channel or service

2. Use BBC iPlayer

Note the "live" part of this.

I'm not a fan of the BBC, and so I don't pay a license. Being forced to pay for something I wouldn't use would force me to break the law.
