The most interesting piece to me is the bit about infringements of
copyright. I totally agree that rightsholders need to protect their
work, as covered in the report, but considering some law firms are
already completely abusing the legal system as is to go after people on

There is a way to get the comments to output in an xml format to make them
easier to scrape off of each blog post and parse. But it is per blog post and
not a central feed of all comments. It appears they are driven by the h2g2
software, so someone involved in that section of the bbc site might
There was also astonishing precision in the forecast on the bbc homepage

programmes would be available free would not totally kill off other
forms of money raising based on the product. After all, a significant
portion of worldwide broadcasters would still be after syndication
rights. DVD sales

I'd air a personal annoyance with the BBC Weather site. If I put in my

subsequent replays seem to play a lot smoother and allow better seeking.
Would be nice if it precached more though specifically after play and

Hi Kim,
If Melvyn was to add on address or
postcode information it would certainly be doable. Better still if you were to
