with multiple consumer HDV cameras during three
live shows: Victoria 12.05.08, Portland 12.07.08,
and Sacramento 12.12.08.

what creative users can put together using this and
other fan-recorded footage.

33. Feedback
• If this tech show is continued, it has potential to be a great resource for
documentaries and tech information in general. I wish it much success
and applaud BBC for taking such an initiative. Also, for this to be
successful, the tech community should fully utilize the resources
provided by the BBC. It’ll encourage others to release content in similar
fashion. This is really good news for the Bit Torrent protocol, as well as
Creative Commons licensing model.

• Only two words to describe this (assuming this isn’t a hoax)
EPIC WIN!
• r3loaded
• Yes, The BBC decides to join the 21st century, involving bittorrent (the
de-facto web standard of video delivery!) What a great day to be british,
if only they decided to use it instead of the shi**y iplayer….
• Elliot Comber
• Ok, so if you combine the BBC and France what does that equal? You
download a BBC show, seed it and go to jail for living in France? The
world is getting loopier everyday. Someone please stop the madness.

35. Feedback
• The first thing to understand is that the BBC doesn't automatically own
the rights to everything it broadcasts, even within the UK. For stuff they
own the rights to totally, they generally don't seem to give two hoots
what people do with it and are willing to actively encourage people to
play around with it. But just because the BBC may have been the first
broadcaster of a work doesn't mean they own the exclusive rights to do
with as they want.

36. On-line norms
• PLEASE KEEP ASKING FOR ADVICE if you need it. The biggest
problem with broadcasters trying to branch out into new media is they
don’t take the time and effort to engage with the p2p scene to learn the
unofficial rules and customs.
• As noted above, if you discover an error in your release the correct way
to rectify it is to fix the editing and release the new file with the word
PROPER in the file name.
• For your reference, we use File.Names.With.Dots because not all
systems correctly read spaces and will sometimes screw up the file
name so that%20it%20becomes%20hard%20to%20read
