Rites ? What ? Rights surely.
Strikes me all the BBC is trying to do is make sure, on trust, that
those who access its content pay for it.
The BBC pays for rights to its programming same as any other broadcaster
does one way or another, that has to be paid for. Worldwide rights are
not available in any universe I can think of.
I find your idea of all these expats who would pay for the BBC or
anything else quite risible. These are the same people who have left UK
to avoid paying irritating things like taxes and BBC licence fees.

I realise that there is are rites issues and it is not just the BBC or tv, they
tried region coding dvds it doesn't work, with gobal movement of people the
whole rites thing needs a rethink.
But none the less I am sure some accommodation could be included in the rites
to allow nationals of the country that have been granted the rites to have
access to the programming even if they currently aren't in the territory of the
county in question at the time.

One word "rights".
I wonder how much the BBC would have to spend to get worldwide rights
on all
their content? Assuming the worldwide rights are available in the first
place.
I wonder how much the BBC would have to pay in rights violations if
they
didn't get worldwide rights?
