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.

    How much is this license?

    I'd be willing to pay money to the BBC for access to this and othe r content.

    Heck, I'd be willing to pay a TV tax of some reasonable pittance just to replace our CBC up here with a much expanded and comercial reduced BBC Canada.

    It's not like that's where CBC is getting it's news from anyway due to the strike...

    Hey, I don't mind if they stay on strike at the moment since at least we are getting BBC news instead. Much more international content, and not just that which is rating oriented.

    We really need the CBC/Radio Canada to be sorted out - this needs to be a channel for the citizens, not for the advertisers.
