British TV Station Offers Downloads
Richard W.M. Jones writes "Remember how the British just love
to download TV?
Well, British terestrial TV channel
five
has announced that it will become the
first to offer TV programmes to download legally.
Except that they don't quite seem to
get it yet. They are
offering
here some videos from
this
car programme which apparently didn't quite make
it to air, for the princely sum of
£1.50 (about $3), in DRM'd WMV 10 format
(mplayer plays them fine).
Still, it's a start, and it looks
like they're just testing the water.
Hopefully they won't take the lack of
response as 'proof' that there's no
demand.
There's
more
about this at the BBC's website."

If it weren't for the rocks in its bed, the stream would have no songs.
