it's because here everyone that owns a TV needs to pay subscription it to the state TV.
WHich brings us to cable - my professors is battling on constitution courts, because cabel TV doens't want to unplug all other channels off except from national tv.
here is the catch. we pay for national TV so if we watched only that through cable then we shouldn't be paying anyhting to cable providers (because broadcasting is already included in our monthly fee to national TV). but they won't do that. yet the logic is i pay for TV connection so i can now watch everything on those programmes.
ergo i pay for internet connection so i can watch anything on internet. internet has a feedback option. which in turn means i can show anyhting i want on internet. i think here is where their thinking is comming from.
but there are countries where broadband internet conneciton is very expencive. for example here you will pay 15 EUR/month for 1MB/s. but in Indonesia for example is arround 450 EUR. which is a lot for us but for them it's liek 3 monthly salaries. and if yu payed 450 EUR a month for internet wouldn't you think it is your RIGHT to watch all movies available online?
i mean it would be much cheaper to go to the movies.
