Explain that to the BBC and then get the agreement of all the other TV
companies who have invested heavily in the technology.

Most Debian users just use a TV service. Debian itself doesn't care how
it is delivered. Avoiding using something like iPlayer as a way of
hastening the demise of flash is nonsense. The outcome is that you do
not see the program and the BBC carries on as normal.

Does it even notice you didn't even visit its site? "By God", they say,
Brian didn't watch Happy Valley; why not?; we must do something about
this.

Total nonsense.
