Well maybe. But surely the point is that _doing_ this stuff is trivial. I've 
done lots of mashups for my own personal use. I've done the ITV TV schedules 
mashup (more like mashabout) that I've published here.

Using XSLT to pull content from websites in a semantically safe way is 
something we surely all understand.

So take it as read that I can do it (coz I can). But what I can't do legally is 
to put the thing up anywhere. I'm not even sure I could distribute the code 
without fear of legal attack.

Nic what kind of stuff are talking about doing? Which Lawyers are you worried 
about? BBC or others? Can you give me an idea.

Maybe there could be scope to do it in a way where it could count as research 
for the BBC? I think that's how something like Promise.TV (Pandora) was able to 
be a reality?
