The BBC don't see this as a problem as they get paid any which way.
I'm all for on-line TV (not video clips necessarily but proper TV).
I'm now in to the habit of watching BBC Working Lunch (a 30min programme on Business and personal finance) on my lunch break at work, something I could never do previously due to the lack of a TV.
There is currently a petition being driven by my local MP to try and ban 'violent pornographic websites' see BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4460828.stm[BBC News]. Whilst not directly related to this article it is an example of the general public thinking that something can actually be done about these things!
Whilst I have a lot of sympathy for Liz Longhurst who has lost her daughter I do wish that my MP and other MPs would spend 30mins talking to some IT guys to discover that this is an impossible task. Currently they must be wasting lots of time at the taxpayer's expense.
If anyone else in the UK feels the same as me then please use the http://www.writetothem.com/ Write-to-them website to get a message to your MP!

Bear in mind that it costs a similar amount of money to enter the competition at the end of the program:

Personally I think that's too expensive for what is less than 25mins (bear in mind the ads). Top Gear however is easily worth £1.50.
No, the US will want him tried in Iraq since only there can he receive the death penalty.
The US doesn't exactly supply the international criminal court
I don't think this is very relevant to the UK.
