BBC In Trouble Over Free Music

Posted by timothy on from the generate-money-from-spinning-corpses dept.

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."

    I thought that the BBC collected the fee themselves, they include the costings for collection on how they spend the fees.
