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.

    Is it true they have government guys in vans who roll around neighborhood streets scanning for faint electronic signals that televisions yield and pester suspected houseowners who aren't listed as registered and licensed TV owners? Or was that just a cynical work of sature I saw on an episode of Trigger Happy TV?

    If true how do they distinguish between a television and some other CRT device on the scanner? Or do computer users who don't own TVs also get harassed?
