Working on the iTunes Music Store model... £1.89 per episode. If episodes are weekly, all year (although I know few are), you could be paying £100 just to download a year's worth of 1 series.
Suddenly £126.50 for a licence fee doesn't look too bad...! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Sent: 07 November 2005 15:40 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [backstage] iMP Releasing iMP to the world would almost end piracy of the BBC's content. Releasing it to the UK would still keep all the BBC's content available over the net through the standard ways. What better way to maintain control and quality than to irradicate the need for piracy of BBC content..? I actually wouldn't object to paying for this as a seperate service and I wouldnt be suprised if this is not the way forward for non-uk citizens. Seems fair enough, we pay our £££ per year and if Joel from America wants it, he can but it'll cost him a percentage of the standard lic. fee.
