Abolish need for TV license for live streaming non BBC channels

Petition Details

At present you require a TV license to live stream non BBC channels and Internet only media sites such as YouTube and Prime Video when they stream live broadcasts.

As more people move away from traditional TV channels it no longer makes sense or is fair to require a license for these platforms

Additional Information

Change the law so a TV license is only required for services offered by the BBC.
