If it is, then all these open source licenses won't mean anything either will they? (cf gpl-violations.org) Let alone all sorts of things that would actually upset lots of (non-geek) people. (eg people's personal photos being used to promote commercial products they have no interest in/support for, *without* recourse.) Personally, I'd be surprised if copyright has disappeared from the law books even as soon as 10 years from now. Changed and reformed? Fair use introduced, redefined? Copyright term lengthened/shortened? All possible. *Gone* from the law books? Highly unlikely. That would be very much a "be careful what you wish for" kinda of scenario to me. Michael.

No. Much as a lot of people might like it to be, no, it isn't. Cheers, R.

Allegedly It may be considered "quaint", but some of us like to stay within the law. Afterall, if I don't respect the copyrights of others, why should they respect mine ?

Re: [backstage] US TV on iPlayer
Why would you want to watch them on the iPlayer when you could have downloaded them as torrents from the US a whole year before?

[backstage] US TV on iPlayer
Hi, Just wondering if there's a rule on which TV shows that have been bought in from the US by the BBC (Heroes, Mad Men, Damages) end up on iPlayer. Out of those 3, Mad Men is the only one that is available. Is Mad Men a joint BBC production or are rights to put external content on iPlayer negotiated on a show-by-show basis?
