I'm from the UK and it's not something that has ever bothered me so possibly a cultural thing.

That said I don't have a TV License anyway since I have no requirement for one, the few bits of TV I do watch are handily covered by Netflix.

Broadcast TV is horrible the few times I watch it when I'm at the GF's, after 4 years without it you forget just how bad.

Ironically I consume vastly more content from the BBC via their radio content (BBC Radio 4 is heroin) which is all free without a license anyway.
