It's not a person at the BBC.

Scapegoat?

How come when a DVD or game gets leaked on the net people manage to get away with it but this poor chap not associated with the BBC gets tracked down and fired? Is he just really stupid, bad at covering his tracks, or someone they could blame?

Not a suprise

I posted in the "speculation" news item, that the BBC is unlikely to do this type of thing. When looking for conspiracies one must take into account the character of the "persons" involved. The BBC is very above the board, and very conservative. Those two items combined made it hard to believe they would use misdirection in advertising. Combine that with the "accusers" were making wild speculation without any substantiation, and the conclusion of this story was obvious.

Just in case you aren't joking: Conservative in their manner of business... not political viewpoints. The BBC is more fair and balanced than any major news organization we have in the states. CNN used to compete, in my mind. However, revelations about their handling of pre-war Iraq journalism has tainted them.
