I'm no lawyer, but if such a case was brought, then the BBC could still be found at fault. The cost is in a way, incidental (and in another way, is not!) All the House Rules do is say that if there was a problem, the BBC would try and recouperate its loses from the "cause" of the problem. Of course, there's no guarentee that that money would be ever reclaimed. So better to try and prevent the incident, rather than respond to it in my personal opinion :) Legal cases of the past have naturally made large publishers of online content more than a little wary... - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
