Nearly all of europe has such a tax (Britain, Germany and some others as well). There are some ways people try and get around it, it's pretty pointless if you ask me as there are probably some easier ways to raise the required funds. Even more rediculous is the recent measure in Britain to introduce a computer tax, the reason: those computers can be used to reach the BBC webpage. I think that Germany has a radio fee as well.
Though the practical means of enforcing these fees are rather crazy, for most people it's just some more money they pay the government.
