Canada
Here in Canada we all get taxed for CBC, including people with no TV or radio.
Not labelling all expats like this but the vocal ones tend to be like this.

Satellite TV company arranges to "brick" pirate cards across the US days before the Superbowl: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-jan-27-mn-17728... https://blog.codinghorror.com/revisiting-the-black-sunday-ha...
huh .. but the Superbowl is always on a broadcast network too, so people could always just get out the ole rabbit ears (unless they had really bad signal from their local state)

It’s not incorrect. Netflix and Amazon are not live TV. (Perhaps you missed the “etc” after BBC?)
You claimed: "this only applies to television that is paid for by the license [...]" That is incorrect. It doesn't matter whether the content was paid for by the licence or not. If you are watching live TV, you need a licence.

Which content you’re watching isn’t actually relevant, it’s where you are getting the content from. I could be watching a programme via an on-demand service at the same time as it’s shown on live TV, and I still wouldn’t need a license.
If what you are watching is live TV, it doesn't matter what device or service you use to watch it. It doesn't matter if you're streaming it, watching it via a service like All 4, ITV Hub, etc. If it is live TV, you need a licence. See: https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/L...
