BBC Opens TV Archive to Remixers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the go-nuts dept.

megla writes "The BBC has opened its Creative Archive to the public, allowing users to be VJs and remix BBC content. The BBC's "current music" radio station, Radio 1, is running a competition in conjunction with the release. Unfortunately, the license the content is released under requires that you are a UK resident to use it." For British residents, however, this is well worth the television license.

    Yeah, like they can stop me from remixing the Dr. Who theme song with dogs barking.

    I was just looking at the photo on your web site. Is that your real forehead, or did you have some sort of extension fitted?

    I can tell that you're an American, because you've A) "found Jesus" and can't shut the fuck up about it, B) you're hideously foul, fat, stupid and ugly and yet can't stop drawing attention to yourself and C) you've only got one joke (British teeth) and you can't even make it sound funny.

    You're from the bible belt - statistically you're far more likely to have dental issues than any British citizen. Is there a reason why you don't open your mouth in that foul photograph of yourself you so foolishly make available to the general public?

    including third World countries who couldn't hope to run a news service of that standard.

    Like the US, for example?
