How the SABC's plan for Netflix viewers paying TV licences could become like e-tolls

The SABC's proposal to get companies Netflix and MultiChoice to collect licence fees on its behalf will have significant legal challenges and could be met with the same resistance as the e-tolls scheme.

This is according to Tabacks Attorneys director for corporate, mergers, and acquisitions Ian Jacobsberg.

If they had half a brain they would simply enforce the need for a tv licence for buying anything from laptops to cellphones to monitors, that way they don't have to try and get 3'rd parties involved in collecting fees.

Of course they could also just start streaming the sabc channels themselves to enforce the clause...
