it is not the fact of whether you watch or not.
it all comes down to if you have a reciever capable of recieving the terrestrial channels.
the licence fee also covers radio, so even a radio in your room would require a licence.
so if you have a tv card, then you legally need a licence

No. The TV License fee is for a TV set. Although it is true the license allows the holder of such to view television pictures, this cannot apply to the Internet. A new and very much opposed license would need to be issued - one allowing the citizen to go on-line.
Civil war then?

This is an FAQ from TV Licensing:
What if I only use a TV to watch videos/DVDs/as a monitor for my games console? Do I still need a licence?
You need to notify us in writing that this is the case and one our Enforcement Officers may need to visit you to confirm that you do not need a licence.
Please write to us including your name, address and the reason you believe that you don't need a licence at:

while you're receiving a television sign by skill of skill of a USB dongle or something comparable, particular, you could have a television license. while you're downloading television shows and action pictures, you do no longer pick one (yet you're probable breaking an completely diverse regulation).

Yes... and if you don't believe me... don't buy one and get a hefty fine or worse!
If I've had to pay for one the past 45 years... then so should you!
However you watch... you pay... ok?
