We at the BBC don't want to discourage fans from enjoying their favourite programmes on the Internet. However, the BBC has a problem in that it cannot sanction the widespread use and copying of its and others copyright material on the Internet without at least permission first being obtained from the BBC. In much the same way as the BBC cannot allow publicity photographs or screen grabs from its programmes to appear in a book or a magazine (whether it is being sold or given away) without a licence from the copyright holder, it cannot officially sanction inclusion of such material on Internet sites. Whilst the material might not be being used for commercial gain, it is being given away for free and therefore might end up removing a possible source of revenue for the copyright holder. The law concerning rights clearances, potential liability to the BBC and the industrial relations with the various talent unions, without whom none of the BBC programmes could be made, make it imperative that we try and act in everyone's interest, which is often not easy. I hope this helps explain our position.
