The BBC's copyright material is its single most valuable asset. There's no way they'll "open their archives" for all and sundry to download for free. At best, you'll get 5 minute trailers for programs with a link to "buy the video or DVD from the BBC online shop". Marius |

Yeah, they announced they were opening up their entire archives for free online consumption a few months ago. Technically, it's a mammoth task so i can see why they'd consider p2p. They get the proceeds of a 100 pound sterling licence fee that everyone with a tv has to pay to fund their tv, radio and internet media and carry they no ads. I've also read that they are trying to sell off their commercial enterprises (tellytubbies etc) in order to concentrate on public sector broadcasting. That rules.

It’s not so much of a problem and it’s nothing to be ashamed of, it’s just a condition. In fact mine is good because it means my brain is getting bigger too. But not that Travolta guy, his head is mostly fat. The doctors said I am much smarter than John Travolta and I believe them. |

What he actually said was this: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds11598.html "We intend to allow parts of our programmes, where we own the rights, to be available to anyone in the UK to download so long as they don't use them for commercial purposes." "Parts" of programmes - in other words, clips - trailers to whet the appetite. If you want the full program you'll be directed to the BBC's online video and DVD store. Although the BBC is presently funded by the British taxpayer this arrangment will be reviewed in a few years time and the government's made it clear that there's no guarantee the funding will continue beyond that date. That's why they won't be giving away their most important financial asset. Marius |
