IMO its the same principle. The same goes for films, games, DVDs etc.
And yes, I do pay mine.

I only watch BBCi player very rarely. 4OD once or twice. Wanted to be sure what you meant by "watching TV online". TV licence lets me watch Channel 4 and 5 also I do believe. If I choose to watch freeview it also covers that.
