A British Man went to court, to obey the law.

 

Section 15 Article 3 of the UK Terrorism Act 2000

A person commits an offence if he/she -

a)provides money or other property, and

b)knows or has reasonable suspect that it will or may be used for the purposes of terrorism.

 

"But your Honor, the BBC funds terrorism! If I pay my bill, I'd be funding terrorism!"

He won his case.

I looked that guy up - he didn't win his case. He was conditionally imprisoned for 6 months if he didn't pay the fine of 200 pounds, which he paid. He then claimed he won. You can't win these things without bullets.

 

Also, podcasts are not citations. Get real sources next time.

A "conditional discharge" you mean?

Wiki:

a conditional discharge is a sentence vitiating the finding of guilt in which the offender receives no punishment if in a period set by the court (not more than three years), no further offence is committed

 

Hardly the same thing as guilty. Definitely not jail time.

To quote from the article you provided

Outside court, Rooke said the case had been a ‘score draw’ since the judge had looked at the evidence - albeit in private - and had decided not to fine him.

It's about the record and standing up for your beliefs.

Court costs are hardly the same thing as a fine and he no doubt spent more on his legal team.

 

What are they going to do if everyone stops paying? Anyone choosing to stand up and fight "legally" now has precedent and can all cite this as case law.

BOOM.
