The BBC should be, in my humble opinion, about creating content for the use of licence fee payers. As long as no payment is received, licence fee payers should be able to watch, listen, store, forward, cut-and-paste and mash up any content that is created in their name and with their cash. It's the only way to have a licence-fee funded BBC in ten years time.
The arguments about this have been rehashed over and over again. You are not going to persuade anyone at the BBC of the rightness of your position by posting to this list. I happen to think you're completely wrong, on pretty much every count, but I'm not going to get involved with it here because it's frankly insulting to everyone on the list who's not interested in these interminable arguments which never actually get anywhere. If you're actually interested in a meaningful debate, as opposed to meaningless posturing, then post a coherent argument on a blog, send the list the link, and we can debate it via blog posts. Then anyone who's actually interested can follow and contribute to the discussion, while those who aren't won't have to suffer it.
