When BBC7 first launched, they had serious rights problems - the range
of programmes they could broadcast on air was highly limited, and what
could go online was far less. Took them about a year to sort it out
IIRC - both to get stuff online and get lots more from the archive
available.
Because they went through that serious pain then, they may well have
done it in a way that would hopefully avoid such pain in the future.
