If everyone took that stance then the BBC would be in a mess temporarily but it could force long overdue change as you say and make it realise that it wasn't going to get the opportunity of wasting peoples money with no reference back to the people paying them either.
I was one of those who mentioned a point as to not paying forcing overdue change,it came from my Dad who said that had people not refused to comply with the poll tax it likely would not have got abolished in the form it was in.
Nothing wrong in standing by your principles Kate.history has many examples of where some laws have had to be broken to get better laws.
