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.

    You can hardly call it open then.

    I would even *pay* for access to BBC content if I could, but thats not even allowed either.

    This is just as bad as normal copyrighted content in terms of lack of freedom.

    If its been broadcast, its in public domain as far as I'm concerned.

    I could care less about any 'restrictions', once I've seen/heard it i can/will do what i want.

    Dont like that? Then dont broadcast it.

    The BBC is not worth the license fee. It is Tony Bliar's multi-cultural propaganda division.
