The first rule about the Backstage Licence is that we don't talk about the Backstage Licence. In all seriousness, I find it sad that semantics continues to play a far larger role in all of these discussions/arguments/politics between the BBC as broadcaster, BBC as service provider, general viewing public and rightsholders. Simile time: trying to control, or fighting against, cross-platform consumption, usage on previously unconceived platforms and/or unexpected adaption of the service to new forms of consumption is like swimming against a rip tide. Either it's available everywhere legally and someplaces illegaly or nowhere legally and everywhere illegally. It's the rightsholders' choice. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
