The biggest issue is usually the music that accompanies the programs. Rights are given for a broadcast of music (theme tune, backing music, sound effect etc ) and this is very rarely owned by the BBC. eg Eastenders (bad bad bad soap) might have a cafe scene where a top40 song is on in the background. fat chance of the BBC being allowed to give this away......
BTW does anyone know when storage will be up to the job of recording everything broadcast, indexing it locally (at my flat) and letting me hold it all for as long as I want, (unselected shows can drop off after 1 week). Then I can read the reveiws and watch shows I know were good, rather than have to guess? sort of Tivo on steroids??
This is actually a great tool to quickly find all the dirty filth on any machine, when travelling to the US with a shared pool laptop, I can no longer be held responsible for other users pr0n as I can prove I checked and have nothing illegal in my possession.
You are spot on with this response, Monsanto and their ilk do this al the time. The only solution would be to ban/fine companies for abusive patenting.

Could a cows internal storage contain viruses/virii ?? we could be in trouble if there is any crossover
