True, there are always going to be a small number of people “caught in the net” of the criteria by accident unless you make all BBC services straight subscription - then it’s clear; pay to use it and don’t get access at all if you don’t pay. The idea of LF evasion is then no longer a problem (assuming you would implement some anti subscription-sharing software as Netflix and others have done).
However, why I and many others are uncomfortable with that is that it places our arguably “national broadcaster” behind a paywall in such a way that not everyone would have access to it any more. Many would end up choosing to not pay, and therefore not use the BBC. That would be a great shame.
