New Fee For Internet-Capable PCs In Germany
An anonymous reader writes "German online news sites heise.de and spiegel.de has stories, that from April 2005 on a fee of about 17 to 18 EUR per month must be paid to the national broadcasters in Germany for personal computers in private households, which have possible access to the internet. The fee must not be paid, if it is already paid for a TV set. Companies are said to be obliged to pay that fee from 2007 on." Those who don't read German should make use of the Fish.
The problem is that politics is radicalizing towards the right after the collapse of the soviet union.
It is frankly rich to call the BBC pro-arab when the only think they do is to show the situation of human despair that is the brutal occupation of Palestine.
Just as a token, the BBC is showing tonight a programm called "Jewish Law" that presents the problems and tribulations that the Jewish community faces in Britain when trying to adhere to their religious beliefs. Educational, touching, informative and unbiased.
It is not the fault of the BBC that Israel is lead by a bunch of murderous paranoids, they have to report the facts as they happen in the ground and surely Israel can't come in any way well out of objective journalism relating their occupation.
IANAL but write like a drunk one.
