Why on earth would the BBC want to remove clips of Songs of Praise from the 1990s?

I can't think of ONE good reason.

  • You know, if they want to package these old clips into a DVD that can be purchased there might be at least a small market of dedicated fans willing to pay. If they're just going to destroy the clips it doesn't make sense.

  • Even if that were the case (and that would be wonderful) Youtube clips CREATE a market and a demand for quality DVDs. Their action is petty, shortsighted, mean-spirited and crazy - Youtube clips could never replace a high quality DVD, but they make excellent FREE advertising.

  • I don't follow. Why would I want to put my name on the internet, what difference would that make to the point I'm raising?

  • Out of the ordinary and extreme? I don't think so. The only experience pertinent to this is that I uploaded clips from some old editions of Songs of Praise which the BBC has gone to all the trouble of having removed.

  • Absolutely correct!! We don't even have SOP over in the states and when I inquired to BBC America, if they would be broadcasting SOP, I received a polite "no", yet they continue to show programmes that are rubbish!

  • But noy only BBC, many others too.

  • Totally totally agree. Disgusting behaviour by the BBC. You had some superb vintage Songs of Praise clips on here which I really enjoyed. Why on earth should the beeb want to block them?

  • I agree -.- I just uploaded a TG video [I do all the time but they never removed them untill this year] and they blocked it world wide. I don't understand, if they don't want people using their content, why the hell is there even a YouTube or their account on YT for that matter?! YouTube knew this would happen (that people upload videos with content like this) but why not just allow it?? we aren't stating its ours in the first place! Argh. I hate YouTube -.-

  • I am with you on this, after all we pay there dam licence fee, i think we shoud not have to pay it anyway, all the other channels do not ask us to pay for them, they should have adverts instead, ban tv licences, we pay enough in this country.

  • I think it is stupid, im with you on this, we pay there wages,i think we shouldent be made to pay the licence fee in the first place, all the other cannels are free, except sky, and even they dont ask for exstra for a licence, we realy should stamp this out, alot of poeple are on benifits, and find it hard, to live from day to day, without finding exstra money for the licence, ban the tv licence i say.

  • RMevans I have been a big fan of your royalty clips. If you see this please note that I still wait to find them again. Hope I will find you again on the internet. thanks for everything buddy. I miss you every time I search youtube.

  • Well Said !!!!!

    Poor RMEvans lost his entire Channel of superb Royal Family videos because of BBC copyright..... however they were all images and clips that the BBC does not air and does not make available on DVD....... it's mystifying !

  • Of course if they thought they could possibly get away with it, they would stop doing SOP altogether. Need I remind you who is now head of Religious Broadcasting?

  • It's all about info and art control, and it goes beyond money. Be thankful your television channels aren't owned by GE, Disney/Cap, a renegade newspaper man from Australia and a reclusive entertainment mogul.

    Fight back. Kill your TV.

  • Hallo notyobs,

    I see this video about BBC first time and I refer to You, that I try to avoid violation of

    copyright. Therefore I prefer to post most videos for friends only. I remember, that I invited You... (the newest "private" video will show the last minutes of "Das Wunder der Liebe")
