But don’t forget that the BBC has no shareholders and thus no profit motive, so it’s questionable whether this has relevance to the stances taken by US networks etc. Furthermore, it’s not a done deal because the management allegedly did not consult the BBC Trust (which oversees the organisation on behalf of the government and tax payer) and sharing advertising revenues (even in overseas territories) may be in contravention of the BBC charter.

Jeff,
It’s a fascinating move. And it doesn’t mean that the BBC will allow any old Joe to put BBC clips on YouTube. They say they may well still act over copyright infringement.

I’m wondering, since I also got on the YouTube with stuff of mine - what is coming down the pipe financially? This is becoming a big shift in tactics. Someone has to build the storage reservoirs and the pipes to our desks, well they are built, I’m here. Aren’t they going to clog up? I’m always looking for the conspiracy, sorry can’t help it.
