Re: Threatogram received from Crapita today

"How does something that preserves life, or defends it, like the NHS, the fire service, or the military, equate to an entertainment service? "

Because its aim is to enrich life, which is just as important as preserving it.

"And why should we be forced to pay for information we aren't necessarily interested in, or agree with?"

Because somebody else might be interested in it, or starved of other sources of information through no fault of their own.

I'm happy to pay it.

Sidenote - El Reg's anti-BBC/license fee bias has always struck me as really odd. Although the last few times we've had calls to our press office from them they've been american journalists, so maybe that explains it...
