Yawn, is this the 5 minute argument or the full half hour?

I did not say it belongs to me, I said it belongs to the British
people. Also I did not say we had unfettered rights, I pointed out
that copyright and royalty issues prevent that.

I don't see what is LOL about it, and no court is going to disagree
with the statement that the BBC belongs to the State.

No, it is not /their/ content it is /ours/. The British people own
the BBC so the content belongs to us. Though where the copyright is
owned by others (artists etc) or they have royalty rights, then those
issues also need to be addressed.
