I am just telling my own experience. I am understand if anybody disagrees, but it does not change the facts:
- I am a foreign citizen, with a C permit. I do not speak German, French or Italian. I can roughfly understand pieces but not fully. I work in English. This is something I can easily prove, as my company gives me work to do in English, and never in any other language
- I do not own a TV set or radio. But this is like that for the last 30 years, way before I moved to CH. I do not agree with the concept of sitting in front of a box absorbing everything I am given. I understand if other people do, but not for me. I do not agree either with the concept of being given a source of information that I have to pay no matter what. For that, I use my own means of information (podcasts, internet, Telegram and even youtube). Never on any source dunded by the Swiss government.
- While discussing on the topic with Serafe people, they pointed out that even for my podcasts, Telegram and youtube, I still need to pay Serafe, since this service is provided to me through their services. To which I replied that I already pay my internet access, and had to accept advertising from those sources, so what additional service is Serafe or its financing providing?
- I provided these same arguments to Serafe itself and office des poursuites. One day, I was told that it was paid and there was nothing else to be done on my side (???). I never paid, I know that for sure. This year, the process is happening again, Serafe, office des poursuites, claims, claim answers, etc. I am not sure what really happened last year, neither what I will this year. Anybody had similar experiences or anything to share? Thanks, submitted by /u/Admirable-One3538
