Certainly unintentionally in stride with Google’s beta version of public video archiving (see Larry Larsen‘s item here last Thursday), the BBC has announced a creative archive license for the UK.
The initial Creative Archive License Group is open for other organizations and includes the BBC, Channel 4, the British Film Institute, and the Open University. Together they hope to establish a public domain of audio-visual material to be used privately to create new material — which eventually might be loaded back to the original site.
To follow the progress of the group use creativearchive.bbc.co.uk. Leigh Phillips on dmeuropemedia.com (successor of europemedia.com) tells the story in detail.
