content: Amazon isn't re-hosting BBC shows. The license is for any and all TV, and if you watch everything except BBC, your watching of the other channels still needs to fund the BBC. It's a TV tax which funds the government mouthpiece, and they're freaking out because they've just lost a huge revenue stream. I expect there will be a new internet tax soon to fund the BBC, they'll probably claim it's to fund the BBC website or something.
