Yeah, like Germany. If you’ve got a PC (with internet access), you’ve got to pay for TV, even if you don’t own a TV set.

But what I _really_ hate about this is not so much that they want to steal my money but that they try to justify it like this:

“You have internet access so you _could_ use our online material.”

Yeah, sure. First of all, their online stuff sucks, it’s nowhere near the quality of, say, BBC online information.
Furthermore, yes, I _could_ use it. So could people in Switzerland, Belgium and everybody who speaks German.
Does that mean that the GEZ wants to invade these countries?

The plain and honest answer to the question “Why do you screw me off my money?” would’ve been:
“Because we can!”

In my opinion, only Attribution and ShareAlike are acceptable, NoDerivs could mean that I could not use it as background music for a little movie, because this would propably mean some adjustments, and NonCommercial would mean that it could not be played at a commercial place, like a club or something without jumping through loops.

Of course, for listening at home all those CC options are good, but you could need that additional freedoms sooner as you think.
