It is the virus writers who cause the extra work.
Also note that a system that was up to date with its patches would not have been infected with the Sasser worm (and many others), thus correct system management would have prevented the extra work.

The license fee is not payable by everyone, people over 75 do not pay, and blind people have a 50% discount. TV Licensing
The BBC in part funds it's creative content by licensing their content in other countries, and through videos of their old content.
This money is vital for supporting new programmes.
