Line 121: :: You are missing the point: ::* Don’t confuse license and fee. A license is a set of rights, ~~you~~and ~~might~~a ~~obtain~~[[fee]] is a payment for obtaining rights or usinga~~license~~service. If you pay a fee, you get a license, and the license allows you to watch TV. This is how it works in the UK, but not in Germany. ::* There is no license required in Germany, so the question is not whether or not other countries have a “more traditional license”. ::* Until 2012, there was a TV fee, but not a license fee, but a service fee. ::* The new compulsive charge called “Rundfunkbeitrag” (literally “broadcasting contribution”) does not even meet the definition of a [[fee]]. Under German law, tax and fee and “contribution” are completely different categories. :: As long as the article claims that in Germany a “TV license [is] required” and the “licence fee in Germany is €18.36”, the problem is not resolved. -- [[User:Sloyment\|Sloyment]] ([[User talk:Sloyment\|talk]]) 16:4651, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
