If you have say a TV and video which are only used for watching

for them on a regular basis found themselves on the wrong end of a fine.

....I'm assuming they also still run around with those mobile trucks,
hunting down illegal TV sets like the Gestapo? And, for that matter,
have they attempted to clamp down on people downloading capped content
from the Internet, claiming it's the same as your neighbor videotaping
stuff for you?
