BBC Podcast.

[paulbrown]

The BBC seem to be trailing their "Podcast" shows quite a lot these days.

This is a quote from their site about podcasting.

Downloading lets you save a copy of your chosen programme of package onto your computer. You can then listen to this whenever you want, or even transfer it onto your portable MP3 player.

They also read the riot act as well.

You may not copy, reproduce, edit, adapt, alter, republish, post, broadcast, transmit, make available to the public, or otherwise use this audio in any way except for your own personal, non-commercial use.

Obviously I can see you don't have the option to choose exactly what you want, but that aside, what is the difference here from Kazaa, WinMX etc, from a copyright aspect?

Is it now legal to download say the top 20 each week and keep it. The BBC is more or less the Government after all.
