Yes, indeed Jeff, I had a feeling it wouldn’t stay up on You Tube for long. The BBC in particular are hot on protecting its copyright on TV material that can be seen via third-party websites (like YouTube) by non-UK viewers.JeffZ wrote:It looks like YouTube took the Island Documentary down for copyright infringement. Something that will begin to happen more often I'm afraid.
Over the last couple of years the BBC have been commissioning a fair number of documentaries on the higher profile British groups and personalities of the 60s & 70s for broadcast on its BBC4 digital TV channel. But, unfortunately due to the way the BBC is annually funded here in the UK by means of a per household levied licence fee, access to televised archive material on the BBC iPlayer web portal is blocked for non-UK registered IP addresses.
However, I’ve found one of these BBC4 documentaries still mainly intact on You Tube. It’s the sad story of Peter Green and the early days of Fleetwood Mac. I think it might have slipped past the You Tube censors because the 90-minute broadcast has been uploaded in 9 x 10-minute segments – although, part 5 of the 9 has since been taken down.
