Take a Byte Out of Crime writes "According to this article, British classical labels are claiming that the BBC giving away the these symphonies, which were performed by the BBC Orchestra for free, constitutes unfair government competition. Apparently all free music really is illegal these days, or soon will be, public domain be damned."

    The BBC is independent of the government

    So they say. Remember that MI5 politically vets and controls all reporters and producers. That's why all BBC political commentators spout NewLabourSpeak and for example why there is consistent censorship of the anti-war majority viewpoint.
